We collaborated closely with Alaska Airlines in designing an 11,000+ sq. ft. lounge in SFO’s Harvey Milk Terminal 1, blending Alaska’s brand with the creative spirit of the Bay Area.
Inspired by the warmth and comfort of a boutique hotel, the design features Alaska’s distinct spaces—”Come In,” “Take a Breath,” “Help Yourself,” and “Cut Loose”—seamlessly connected through unique ceiling treatments, soft curves, and regionally inspired details including a custom Fireclay tile mural in Alaska’s color palette. A 40-foot acoustic wall with the Golden Gate Bridge in fog enhances sound control while serving as a focal point. Designed to LEED Gold standards, the lounge exceeds capacity targets with six seating types to meet diverse guest needs, all aligning with Alaska’s vision.
