Case Study: CIP Lounge, Terminal 3, Heathrow - Specialist Joinery

The new CIP (Commercially Important Passengers) Lounge for Terminal 3 will provide British Airways first and club class passengers with facilities equal to the quality and standard already achieved at Terminal 5.

The newly designed space now comprises two separate lounge areas for First and Club class passengers, incorporating visually stunning reception areas, illuminated back bars, illuminated island & bars, first class wine galleries, news displays and many other luxurious specialist individual items.

Swift Horsman were contracted to provide a combination of large scale specialist joinery furniture created from fumed oak, coloured glass panelling with image interlayer’s, corian and granite finished, specialist metal works, specialist LED lighting and chilled refrigeration units.

Based upon the architects design we provided full working drawings, from which all items of specialist joinery were manufactured in our own factory facility. Using modern methods of construction all of the pre-engineered furniture and finishes were delivered to site in modules ready for quick and efficient installation.

As with all projects, Swift Horsman’s attention to detail, high quality of workmanship and level of expertise were vital to ensure a finished project in keeping with the reputation and expectations of British Airways.

Our work on this project has recently been awarded a certificate of excellence from the AIS.
