Unique Features

Terminal 3 is recognisable from its expansive rectilinear roof, which is a unique horizontal stroke right from the dramatic cantilever over the kerbside, across the Main Departure and Arrival Halls to the aircraft-apron on the other side. Its underlying complexity lies in its details, which are derived from the layering of ceiling panels, baffles, 919 skylights and high-tech 'butterflies', creating a random aperture pattern build-up that evokes a rainforest canopy. The natural luminance of the interior spaces is enhanced by the patterns and textures of the floor and feature wall surfaces. It is a space that not only offers the latest in airport facilities, but also a new experience for passengers. A 5 m (16 ft) high "Green Wall" with hanging creepers and waterfall was incorporated to enhance the tropical feel and also helps to regulate the internal temperature of the terminal with the occasional misting.
