Text description provided by architect.
At a time when, despite growing environmental awareness, air traffic is once again on the rise, we believe it is essential to rethink how airport mobility programs are designed.
How can terminals be conceived to set new standards in resource and energy management? This is the core ambition of the Deauville terminal.
Prioritizing timber and bio-based materials for both its exterior envelope and interior finishes, the terminal features a finely calibrated energy management system that adjusts in real time to actual occupancy.
It also reimagines the traveler's experience by returning to the simplicity of early terminals, where passengers and aircraft shared the same ground level.
Technical frugality and reduced system complexity contribute to intuitive circulation and smoother procedures.
The project is embodied in a series of large timber canopies gently integrated into the Norman landscape.
This terminal represents the first phase of a broader initiative, including a 45-hectare photovoltaic park generating over 60 megawatts, positioning Deauville Airport as the first to achieve a positive carbon footprint.
