The Tom Bradley International Terminal is quintessentially LA. The rolling roofline — inspired by cresting ocean waves — is formed from a series of overlapping vaults that create clerestories on the north and east facades.
The building’s orientation brings an abundance of diffused daylight into the airy terminal and concourses, improving building performance and brightening passenger spirits. Along the perimeter, exterior sunshades reduce solar glare and heat gain so passengers can comfortably enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the airport and the Santa Monica Mountains beyond.
Fentress designed the signature Great Hall to showcase amenities worthy of a creative hub. A multi-screen video installation captivates children and adults alike with curated videos that highlight the area’s urban and natural environment. Play areas provide fun escapes for parents to take their restless children. And, of course, an LA experience would not be complete without name-brand boutiques and premier eateries.
