Travel is meant to be a rich experience — a means of engaging with culture, cuisine, and pleasure. This executive airport lounge for J&K Bank was conceived as a space that embodies the art and culture of the Kashmir Valley, giving travellers departing from Srinagar a final encounter with the region's remarkable design heritage.
The brief emphasised finding the ultimate in pre-flight comfort at an airport lounge that invites you to stay awhile. The design draws on Kashmiri craft traditions — carved wood, papier-mâché, and the intricate geometric patterns of the region — translated into a contemporary hospitality setting.
The result is a lounge that feels unmistakably of its place: specific to Srinagar in the way that the best airport environments honour their cities rather than erasing them.
