Alaska Airlines lounge blends Bay Area spirit with modern sophistication.

Alaska Airlines Lounge at SFO showcases the collaboration between Alaska Airlines and William Duff Architects, designing an 11,000+ sq. ft. space in SFO’s Harvey Milk Terminal 1, blending Alaska’s brand with the Bay Area’s creative spirit.

Inspired by the warmth and comfort of a boutique hotel, the design features Alaska’s distinct spaces—”Come In,” “Take a Breath,” “Help Yourself,” and “Cut Loose”—seamlessly connected through unique ceiling treatments, soft curves, and regionally inspired details including a custom Fireclay tile mural in Alaska’s color palette. A 40-foot acoustic wall with the Golden Gate Bridge in fog enhances sound control while serving as a focal point. Designed to LEED Gold standards, the lounge exceeds capacity targets with six seating types to meet diverse guest needs, all aligning with Alaska’s vision.

Professional Reviews

1 / 4

“This is an absolutely exquisite use of an existing century-old hay barn. A daring and whimsical insertion of mirrored, conditioned boxes into a salvaged, slatted barn creates a beautiful respite from the wine country summer. The careful application of mirrors amplifies the rustic while avoiding the trivial game of material contrast. The correspondence with the landscape is wonderful. This is architecture for the soul and mind.”
