Design Rationale Ltd Awarded CIP Lounge, Heathrow T5 Project

We are  pleased to announce our appointment on the upcoming CIP Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5, delivered in collaboration with Mace.

Following a competitive process, Design Rationale has been awarded the glazing and metalwork package, recognising our expertise in delivering high-quality, technically complex architectural solutions within live aviation environments.

The project has been designed by Chapman Taylor, whose vision sets a strong architectural benchmark for the new CIP Lounge experience.

The CIP lounge is set to embody space expansion for British Airways .

We look forward to working closely with the wider project team to help realise a refined, premium space that reflects the standards expected at one of the world’s busiest international terminals.

This appointment represents another significant milestone for Design Rationale and reinforces our growing track record across high-profile transport and hospitality projects.

Further updates will follow as the project progresses.
