Project Description
SCB continues our long-standing relationship with United Airlines as the design partner for the new luxury passenger lounge, United Polaris. A key component of the airline’s reimagined international business class experience, the lounges will be strategically deployed in nine airports worldwide. SCB focused on providing exclusivity, personalization, and user-comfort for United’s premier customers. The primary design objective was to generate a sense of continuity between the on-board cabin environment and the lounge experience. SCB achieved this through thoughtful spatial planning, creating different zones within the 12,000-square-foot lounge that celebrate the excitement of travel. SCB also incorporated numerous hospitality-level amenities into the lounge to support United’s vision for an unprecedented standard of guest services. SCB’s studied use of materials, distinctive lighting, and impactful art creates a truly differentiated experience for travelers. Building off the success of the project, SCB expanded the lounge an additional 4,000 sf.
