A
unique blend of San Francisco and Virgin Atlantic culture, the
Clubhouse is designed to challenge the traditional accepted airport
lounge conventions, to create a unique destination that exceeds customer
expectations and adds a distinctive touch of glamour and grace to the
customer experience, bringing the romance back into travel. The main
character of the Clubhouse came from the distinctive quality of light
created by a 150 ft window which had unrivaled views across the runway
to the bay. A series of full height sliding glass panels inform a daily
animation of colored light across a luminous glass bar and reception,
and local redwood adds warmth and intimacy to the dining area. With a
range of seating to suit any mood, and wifi internet access anywhere the
customer can chose wether to work rest or play with a relaxed service
style, and food and cocktails to rival bars within the city. A full
service back of house kitchen allows the customer to eat freshly
prepared local dishes before they continue their journey, from snacks at
the bar to a fully serviced meal.
