Aso Kumamoto Airport

This PFI (Private Finance Initiative) project for airport reconstruction is symbolic of the creative recovery efforts that took place following the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes. The design includes a “stay-type” gate lounge that accommodates both domestic and international passengers, and a multi-functional space where visitors can enjoy shopping and dining. The plan integrates over 10,000 square meters of wooden fixtures that use locally sourced materials such as residential use 2×4 timber and structurally engineered plywood with attractive grains, all of which are integrated with the facility layout to create a safe, efficient space.
