SFO Harvey Milk Terminal 1

San Francisco, CA

Introducing a vibrant public realm to support a rich passenger experience at SFO Terminal One.

Sculpture Garden
In order to meet increasing demand, SFO is redesigning Terminal 1 in order to improve the users experience at this world class airport. Throughout the process, the design team is taking the opportunity to rethink the way airports function in terms of social, environmental and economic factors. GWO is teamed up with Kuth-Ranieri Architecture and Gensler to design the T1 Terminal in a manner that meets the needs of the airport and reflects the values and aspirations of the people of the San Francisco Bay Area. 

GWO is tasked with the job of bringing the landscape into (courtyards and plazas), on (roof) and below (lower level parking and streets) the architecture in ways that improve the personal experience, add texture and life to the design, and provide functional landscapes. This project is in the final phases of schematic design.
