The design of the Midfield Concourse architecturally respects and complements the existing Terminal 1 (T1), while incorporating the latest thinking in aviation, passenger expectation and sustainability.
Passengers will be able to experience HKIA’s latest ambience experience with more landscaping and fresher colours than ever before. At the APM concourse, passengers alighting the train are presented with an impressive 8m x 40m long blue cast glass wall by artist Graham Jones. On arrivals, a complementary 8m x 29m red cast glass wall welcomes passengers. They are part of a magical space which glows with light: adjacent big green walls with waterfalls reference the natural landscape of the Hong Kong New Territories.
The undulating single-span roof of the concourse adopts a diagonal truss structure with curving north-facing roof lights to bring natural light deep into the heart of the building. At the centre of the departures level sits the retail hub, flanked by the north and south halls. Passengers can look both ways towards all the boarding gates, visible beyond the retail stores and food outlets. It is this intuitive legibility that provides a comfortable setting for a relaxed shopping and dining experience.
