2019 Best of Design Award for Building of the Year: TWA Hotel

Designer: Beyer Blinder BelleLighting Designer: Cooley Monato StudioLocation: New York City

Eero Saarinens TWA Flight Center at JFK International Airport is among the most significant examples of midcentury modern architecture in the world, but the landmark terminal had been subjected to a series of compromising alterations and additions, and critical maintenance had been deferred. Beyer Blinder Belle has been involved with the building for over two decades, first as an advocate to save it from demolition, then as the overall project architect for its restoration and adaptive reuse as a full-service airport hotel. This intervention involved the construction of two seven-story hotel wings, designed by Lubrano Ciavarra Architects with interior design by Stonehill Taylor, and an underground conference center with meeting rooms and a banquet hall by INC Architecture & Design, which are arrayed around the historic terminal.

The original is an architecture of optimism. The rebirth of the project celebrates that. That is extremely needed and refreshing in these times. -Carlos Madrid III
