Portsmouth International Port
Portsmouth, HampshireD5 won the commission through a competitive interview process with lead consultant Halcrow. The brief for the project was to create a new Terminal, providing the customer experience of an Airport to attract more continental ferry passengers and a growing cruise liner operation.
The simple form of the design for Portsmouth International Port uses self-finish, durable, long life materials to ease maintenance and a clear span structure to maximise future flexibility. Internally the building has been arranged to be as intuitive to use as possible with a simple pallet of durable materials and large legible spaces requiring minimal signage. The building also houses retail and refreshment units, including a 1st floor bar with external terrace offering views over the docks and harbour.
