PROJECT PROFILE
BELFAST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
PRECAST CONCRETE
Landscape Architects was thrilled with the completion of its landscape design at Belfast International Airport’s new arrivals and security building. The Co Down-based practice designed the external plaza, pathways and shrub beds, seamlessly integrating the landscape with the adjacent architecture and existing car parks. In collaboration with lead consultant Mott MacDonald, the design features directional paving to guide passengers intuitively along key routes, enhancing wayfinding and overall user experience. Aluminium trims were incorporated as a subtle nod to the aerospace industry, referencing materials commonly used in aircraft design. McIlwaine Landscape Architects was proud to be part of such a well-coordinated team, with the project delivered by main contractor Piperhill Construction Ltd. Bill McIlwaine, Principal, said, “At McIlwaine Landscape Architects, our ethos is to design and create outdoor spaces to meet the needs, desires and dreams of the people who use them.”
