We thoughtfully designed and reimagined this building for it to be an iconic property, to serve as an anchor for the new bustling and cultural Rwanda.

The challenge of choosing the extraordinary furniture, materials and finishes will set the difference between a luxurious look and a presidential one, which is unique, stylish and representative of Rwanda’s country values.

Art, heritage and culture blend seamlessly within the interior of the new Presidential Terminal, Bugesera International Airport.

The wood, gold, black and white palette within these spaces is whimsically detailed, creating the sensation of standing inside an environment, in a way, imposing and exuberant but, at the same time, cozy and welcoming.

In addition to the interior design schemes, we created a number of site-specific furniture and lighting pieces evoking the excellence on the perfection of man-made art that can be followed throughout the building.

CNLL architects is developing the detailed design for the New Bugesera Internation Airport according to the Preliminary Design developed by the Austrian company Airport Design Management (ADM). CNLL architects is developing the detailed design.

The new airport will be constructed approximately 23 km to the southeast of Kigali City, situated within the Rilima and Juru sectors of the Bugesera District in the Eastern Province of Rwanda, providing a world-class gateway for Kigali and Rwanda.

The new airport will include a 3,750 meters runway, a modern terminal building, a presidential terminal, office buildings for stakeholders, and all necessary infrastructures.

The airport is designed according to the principles of maximum flexibility, both operational and also in terms of future expansion.
