1992 — 1995
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol - Schiphol Plaza
By building a glass roof over the Airport forecourt a new arrivals hall was created that is flooded with light. This ample space provides room for a shopping mall: below the departures halls, which are still clearly recognizable as such, are forty shops, kiosks and eating establishments.
Terminal for planes and trains
Removing part of the ground floor of the two arrivals halls has generated a terminal not just for planes, but for trains as well. Only a limited height between these two functions needed bridging. The roof curves upwards to create a roofed footbridge which leads to the new parking facilities, hotels and office complexes.
