Media summary

Aerofoil Workspace, a groundbreaking development at Melbourne Airport, redefines the traditional airport hotel experience. This innovative project integrates premium hospitality service with flexible workspaces and a state-of-the-art wellness centre, catering to the diverse needs of travellers, airport workers, and the local community.

The striking “aerofoil” structure, inspired by an airplane wing, houses a vibrant coworking hub featuring a range of spaces from private boardrooms to open plan work areas. The development boasts “Higher State,” a wellness centre accessible to the public, complete with a 25-meter pool and 24/7 gym.

Aerofoil Workspace not only elevates the airport experience for travellers but also revitalises the T4 area, creating a vibrant mixed-use destination that contributes significantly to the Melbourne Airport community.

Aerofoil Workspace, designed by FK, is a breathtaking oasis amidst the airport’s vibrant energy. This innovative space seamlessly blends restful accommodations with highly functional workspaces, fostering a perfect synergy between travel, relaxation, and productivity.

Aerofoil Workspace offers a mix of collaborative zones and quiet retreats, catering to the diverse needs of passengers, hotel guests, and airport workers. It is a truly remarkable achievement, elevating the airport experience to new heights. We are immensely proud of this one-of-a-kind offering for Melbourne Airport.
