Qatar Airways Premium Lounges – DXB & BKK
MQ Interiors was instrumental in the design and execution of Qatar Airways Premium Lounges at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok (BKK). These projects were undertaken with the goal of providing Qatar Airways’ premium passengers with an exceptional and luxurious lounge experience that reflects the airline’s commitment to excellence.
Space Planning and Layout
The design process began with meticulous space planning and layout development, ensuring that both lounges offer an optimal flow and a serene atmosphere. Our layout designs were crafted to maximize comfort and privacy while providing ample space for relaxation, dining, and work. Each area within the lounges was carefully positioned to enhance the overall passenger experience, whether they are seeking a quiet corner to unwind or a communal area for social interaction.
Furnishings, Equipment, and Material Selection
For both DXB and BKK lounges, the selection of furnishings, equipment, and materials was a critical element in achieving the desired ambiance. We focused on choosing high-quality, luxurious furnishings that blend comfort with style. Each piece was selected to complement the lounge’s sophisticated design, contributing to a cohesive and elegant environment. Materials and finishes were chosen not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their durability and ease of maintenance in high-traffic areas.
Color Schemes and Coordination
A refined color palette was chosen to create a calm and upscale environment in both lounges. The colors were carefully coordinated across all elements of the design, from walls and furnishings to accessories and artwork. This careful coordination helped create a unified and harmonious space that exudes luxury and tranquility, ensuring that every element of the lounge contributes to a consistent and pleasing aesthetic.
Subcontractor Coordination and Installation
Our team took on the responsibility of overseeing the fabrication, installation, and arrangement of various design elements, including carpeting, fixtures, accessories, draperies, paint, wall coverings, and furniture. We worked closely with subcontractors to ensure that all installations were executed to the highest standards, aligning with the overall design vision. Regular follow-ups and inspections were conducted to maintain quality control throughout the process.
Compliance and Technical Document Review
Ensuring that all designs and technical documents complied with Qatar Airways’ strict standards and local codes was a key focus throughout the project. We meticulously reviewed all documents to ensure that the lounges met the necessary requirements for safety, accessibility, and functionality. This rigorous attention to detail was essential in delivering spaces that not only look luxurious but also meet the operational needs of an international airport lounge.
Project Progress and Invoice Certification
We played an integral role in monitoring the progress of the lounge projects, regularly reviewing the project programs to ensure that all work was proceeding according to schedule and within budget. Our team was also responsible for certifying invoices, ensuring that all completed work was verified for quality and compliance before payments were made. This process helped maintain financial transparency and accountability throughout the project.
Quality Control and Client Liaison
Throughout all phases of the project, MQ Interiors maintained a hands-on approach to quality control, ensuring that every detail met the high standards expected by Qatar Airways. We served as the primary point of contact for clients, consultants, and public agencies, facilitating clear and consistent communication. Our involvement ensured that the final lounges at DXB and BKK were delivered on time, on budget, and to the full satisfaction of all stakeholders.
The Qatar Airways Premium Lounges at Dubai International Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport are shining examples of MQ Interiors’ expertise in creating high-end, functional spaces that enhance the passenger experience. These lounges stand as a testament to our commitment to excellence in design, project management, and client service, offering travelers an unparalleled level of comfort and luxury.
