Adelaide, Australia — Derlot Group, in collaboration with its South Australian furniture distributor Estilo, is proud to support the major refurbishment of Adelaide Airport led by global architecture and design practice Woods Bagot. The transformation spans both the International and Domestic Terminals, redefining the passenger experience with spaces that are contemporary, functional, and rooted in South Australia’s unique character.
Woods Bagot’s vision for the Passenger Experience Enhancement Projects (PEEPs) includes redesigned gate lounges, a revitalised International Arrivals area, a premium VIP International Lounge, new family dining and play spaces, and a purpose-built sensory room offering a moment of calm within the terminal. These upgrades will enhance passenger flow, operational efficiency, and the overall journey through the airport.

As part of this landmark project, Derlot Group supplied its GATEWAY system lounge seating, engineered and manufactured in Australia to meet the functional, aesthetic, and durability demands of next-generation travel.
Alexander Lotersztain, Global Director of Brisbane-based Derlot Group, said:This project sets a new benchmark in aviation and terminal design. We’re proud to have contributed alongside Woods Bagot, whose gate lounge vision creates a space that not only welcomes travellers to Adelaide but also redefines comfort, functionality, and aesthetics for the next generation of airport experiences.
Woods Bagot Senior Associate Hayley Packer added:From the gate lounges to the sensory room, every element has been considered for a spectrum of passenger needs — from moments of intrigue and delight to highly functional operational requirements.
The airport’s new interiors draw inspiration from the surrounding natural environment and Kaurna heritage, with a palette and form language that celebrates the meeting of earth and sky. Woods Bagot’s design references the Witongga tarto (reedbeds) and coastal landscapes through robust, textural materials and fluid, light-filled spaces.
