Engadin Airport near Samedan – St. Moritz, Switzerland, held a competition for a new airport building including a large restaurant, a hotel, facilities for events, and hangars for aircrafts, helicopters and gliders. Overall a total of 28’000 sqm had to be planned when including parking space.

The winning project proposes a monolithic building that combines all the different functions into one long shape creating a clear edge to the airfield. In the center of the building the hangar for aircraft is combined with a large three-storey high lobby space creating a generous light filled gate mediating between the airfield and the valley. The lobby acts as a programmatic hinge that allows for combining the different areas of the building into multiple scenarios.

Thermal solar collectors on the roof over the hangar are feeding large water tanks that store the heat while the building itself is built as a light construction. With the addition of a wood pellet furnace the building is planned to be heated to 100% by renewable energy.

Hangar

With a large south-oriented terrace, various additional functions and the central lobby, the airport is meant to become a destination for locals and international guests alike.
