A DANCE ON THE HORIZON
Snowland Air Base is a small private airport, where function has been combined with innovative design. Strategically located on a plateau, its elongated architecture reflects the delicate horizon line, and symbolises a dance between the earth and the sky. The many private jets there are parked in triangular sections, each one tilted, so that the functional zones can easily be distinguished, and the open plan design, and light, airy structure facilitate smooth movement, while the use of triple-glazed glass maximises the natural light and offers breathtaking views of the mountains.
