Wellington Airport Control Tower: A 9-storey iconic structure designed for resilience and functionality, featuring a glass facade that withstands extreme winds and offers a 360-degree view of the airfield, elegantly leaning into the prevailing northerly wind.
An iconic landmark for New Zealand’s windy capital – the new control tower at Wellington Airport combines very high levels of resilience and safety with excellent functionality and stunning design.
The new, iconic, 9-storey tower is positioned to maximise operational efficiency and visibility – with a 360 degree view of the airfield. The glass facade was designed to a high seismic standard as well as to deal with extreme wind gusts. The building cleverly references the windy capital, leaning into the prevailing northerly wind at 12.5 degrees.
