Ceduna Airport in Shape for the Future

The district council of Ceduna in South Australia requested a concept and detailed design for a new terminal building for the city’s airport. The GHD design and planning layout for the terminal building caters for a peak load of more than 200 people and makes allowances for any future expansion by maintaining operational continuity throughout the facility.

The circulation spaces provide for efficient and unfettered movement. They are based on a logical relationship between patrons and the services they need to use. In keeping with strict security requirements, the concept design maintains a clear distinction between public and secure spaces. There is also allowance for baggage screening processes, should they be required in the future.

Doha Airport Terminal Extension

Qatar Airways at Doha Airport needed a two-storey extension to the existing departures terminal. Building on previous experience gained from similar project work, GHD provided architectural and engineering design services, as well as contract administration and project management services.

The extension was designed and constructed on a fast-track basis, which enabled its completion within just six months. The new section has given Qatar Airways additional gate boarding lounges, a first class lounge and cafeteria, increased check-in area capacity and additional baggage handling systems.

Grand Hyatt Resort

GHD is the principal consultant for the design of this high profile five-star tourist resort. The architecture and services are designed in modern Qatari style and provide a solution to the harsh desert environment.

The Grand Hyatt development, commissioned by the Tourism Investment Company, is a luxurious resort complex comprising a 250-suite hotel and fully serviced five-star holiday villas. Located along the Arabian Gulf, the innovative cluster layout concept maximises the view of the beach from each villa, while retaining privacy. The design engenders the site’s characteristics, that of the collusion of water and the desert.
