PDX Airport Remodel, a roofer's opinion.

Flights To Portland/PDX

One of the world's nicest airports, could've done more.

The Portland International Airport is a feat of modern architecture, engineering and material ingenuity. However, one of the simplest details, the lighting, has fallen short of what could feel like a proper cigar lounge or wine tasting room. Maybe this isn't justified, it's only opinion.

Walking into PDX through arrivals or departures, I get the sense that a lot went into the 40+ foot tall mass timber roof above. ZGF Architecture & Hoffman construction has indeed put the Pacific Northwest airport on the map. However, in their website photos and review images across the website, there is a significant difference between actual lighting & photo shopped references. As an individual who chose a life outside the laboratory, the pale choice of lighting supporting the skylights, knocks a couple points off the walk through. PDX Remodel, a roofers opinion

Yes, there are likely some considerations for the biosphere support specific to the plant friendly wavelengths, but a preference of mine strolling through a billion-dollar mass timber project, are warm cigar lounge vibe lighting. Otherwise, beautiful project ZGF & Hoffman.
