D5 won the commission through a competitive interview process with lead consultant Halcrow. The brief for the project was to create a new Terminal, providing a customer experience of an Airport to attract more continental ferry passengers and a growing cruise liner operation. The simple form of the design uses self-finish, durable, long life materials to ease maintenance and a clear span structure to maximise future flexibility. Internally the building has been arranged to be as intuitive to use as possible with a simple pallet of durable materials and large legible spaces requiring minimal way finding signage. The building also houses retail and refreshment units, including a 1st floor bar with external terrace offering views over the docks and harbour. The principle development phase is now complete. the contractor is now progressing demolition of the old terminal and construction of a bus set down canopy to the rear of the building.
