The finishes of Laminam in a space project


I NATURALI - BIANCO STATUARIO VENATO USED IN THE VIP LOUNGE AT YURI GAGARIN AIRPORT

The prestigious Russian firm Vox Architects has built a waiting room inspired by space exploration at the Saratov airport, named after the first man to travel in space. The #interiordesign of this project reflects the aesthetics of space stations and spaceships as our contemporary culture imagines them. Shades of white and blue dominate this interior decorating plan featuring #laminam finishes for floors and a wall cladding.

Humanity’s adventure in space inspired the decor of the 1044 sq.m VIP lounge realized by Vox Architects in 2019 at the Saratov International Airport . Floors and part of vertical claddings (in a logic of total look) have been covered with #laminam finishes I Naturali - Bianco Statuario Venato (in the 5+ thickness). These slabs were produced and commercialised by #laminam Rus, the #laminam branch located in Russia.

The mood of the rooms which form the VIP waiting room for travellers in transit or awaiting departure could not have been decorated any other way: this airport, with a total surface area of over 23,000 sq.m, was named for Yuri Gagarin, the first man in history to fly in outer space on 12 April 1961.

“The cosmos and its exploration were our reference points in designing the project’s architectural image,” explained the architects, Boris Voskoboynikov and Maria Akhremenkova, founders of Vox Architects. “Therefore, the theme of space is present metaphorically and in a concrete dimension.”

From a conceptual standpoint, the architectural #design was structured to represent interplanetary travel and to reproduce the luminosity of the sky and the cosmos. “We achieved this result by selecting certain types of lighting in these spaces, and by choosing particularly functional materials and colours. This allowed us to represent symbolically the scientific and technical breakthroughs that have taken place in the aerospace industry and related research.”

Boris Voskoboynikov and Maria Akhremenkova continued, “The lighting engineering project attempts to provoke the sense of uneasiness that can come from considering deep space as full of enigmatic signs and permeated by brilliant rays of light”.


The colour solution of objects, walls and floors was based on a combination of light blue and white with various nuances of blue. With these chromatic definitions, the rooms look like part of an aerospace station on Earth or, in a not so distant future, on another planet, as our science fiction stories would suggest.

“At the same time, these spaces have an ethereal atmosphere that recalls the clouds against the blue sky as a rocket shoots up into the mesosphere.” The aesthetic suggestion has another goal as well: “to induce in people the emotions of turning point, miracle, superiority that the first journey into space aroused at the time.”

Vox Architects has added concrete and material signs to the emotional aspects by celebrating the space adventure “with the realization of a portrait of Gagarin in relief as a tribute to this great cosmonaut, and a reproduction of an astronaut re-entry capsule conceived as a children’s play area for families in transit”.

The two levels of the VIP room are connected by an atrium with a glass facade looking outside, a lift in the centre and a floating circular staircase. This “complex architectural structure appears as a luminous vertical column.”

On the ground floor, we find the reception area and a departure gate, open public spaces, a restaurant, a bar, separate public rooms and a play room. On the second floor, the spaces are more intimate since they are structured like single, semi-open work capsules. The other rooms that travellers can use are a conference room with a kitchen nook, an office with living room furniture and several private sitting rooms.

“Organising the lounge on two levels makes it possible to distribute passenger flow depending on their personal needs as they spend time in the VIP lounge, and to use the space to the fullest of its potential,” explained Boris Voskoboynikov and Maria Akhremenkova in conclusion.

Laminam supported the entire project by making available to Vox Architects all the know-how of the company's engineers in a logic of constant support to architects and builders in the construction phase. Providing active collaboration with clients is one of the most important distinctive characteristics exported also abroad by #laminam, the Italian multinational which now has numerous branches and partners around the world.
