Hamad International Airport Expansion

As host of the FIFA World Cup 2022, Doha expanded Hamad International Airport (HIA), completing the Central Concourse Expansion Project to handle over 58 million passengers annually. The LEED Silver-certified, GSAS 4-Star-rated design features an 85m column-free grid shell roof allowing natural light and climate control. A 6,000 sqm indoor tropical garden with over 300 trees, a 125m sky bridge, and water features offers a serene experience. Taking inspiration from the waves of desert dunes, the profiled roof of the central concourse serves not only aesthetic but also a functional purpose, funneling down to the ground to improve water and sand drainage from the desert winds.
