MQ Interiors was deeply involved in the design and execution of the Qatar Airways Premium Lounge at Charles de Gaulle Airport, ensuring that every aspect of the project met the highest standards of luxury and functionality. This project was a significant undertaking, requiring meticulous planning, coordination, and quality control to deliver a space that embodies the premium brand of Qatar Airways.

Space Planning, Layout, and Design

The lounge’s design started with a comprehensive approach to space planning and layout, aimed at creating an environment that is both functional and luxurious. We focused on optimizing the available space to enhance the passenger experience, ensuring a seamless flow between different areas such as seating zones, dining areas, and relaxation spaces. The layout was crafted to provide both privacy and community, catering to the diverse needs of premium passengers.

Furnishings, Equipment, and Material Selection

The selection of furnishings, equipment, and materials was critical in achieving the desired aesthetic and functional outcomes. Our team curated high-end furnishings that offer both comfort and style, perfectly complementing the lounge’s luxurious atmosphere. We also carefully selected materials and finishes that not only add to the visual appeal but also ensure durability and ease of maintenance, crucial in a high-traffic environment like an airport lounge.

Color Schemes and Coordination

A sophisticated color palette was chosen to create a serene and upscale environment, with careful attention to color coordination across all design elements. The colors were selected to evoke a sense of calm and exclusivity, enhancing the overall passenger experience. This cohesive color scheme ties together the lounge’s various spaces, from the seating areas to the dining zones, creating a unified and harmonious aesthetic.

Subcontractor Coordination and Installation

Our role extended to overseeing the fabrication, installation, and arrangement of various design elements, including carpeting, fixtures, accessories, draperies, paint, wall coverings, and artwork. We coordinated closely with subcontractors to ensure that all installations were executed with precision and aligned with the overall design vision. This involved regular follow-ups and inspections to maintain the highest standards of quality.

Compliance and Technical Review

Ensuring compliance with end-user requirements, standards, and codes was a key responsibility throughout the project. We rigorously reviewed all design and technical documents to ensure they met Qatar Airways’ stringent standards as well as local regulations. This attention to detail was essential in delivering a lounge that not only looks exquisite but also functions perfectly within the operational constraints of an airport environment.

Project Progress and Invoice Certification

Our involvement in the project included overseeing the progress of the work and certifying invoices. We regularly reviewed the project program to ensure that all work was progressing according to schedule and within the allocated budget. This included verifying that all completed work met the required quality standards before certifying invoices for payment.

Quality Control and Client Interaction

Quality control was maintained throughout all phases of the project, from the initial concept to the final installation. We served as the primary contact for clients, consultants, and public agencies, ensuring that communication was clear and consistent. Our hands-on approach and commitment to excellence ensured that the lounge was delivered on time, on budget, and to the complete satisfaction of Qatar Airways.

The Qatar Airways Premium Lounge at Charles de Gaulle Airport is a testament to MQ Interiors’ ability to deliver high-end, complex projects that require a blend of creativity, technical expertise, and meticulous project management. The lounge stands as a premium space that enhances the travel experience for Qatar Airways’ most valued passengers.
