Exterior
-Back in 1966, the overall massive structure of the airport was built by concrete with arches and roof structure that was supported by the columns and looked like a portal frame warehouse.
-The concrete is used as it can reduce the island heat effect and improving air quality hence improving the comfortability of the users by providing cool spaces.
-A massive spiral ramp that connects the ground floor and first floor provide accessibility to the disabled and at the same give off a grand and huge impression to the travelers. Ease the burden travelers to carry or pull their heavy luggage between the floors.

-The simple, bold and dynamic lines of the composite aluminium panels give off an essence of aviation (HL Architect, n.d.). The lighting effects in the night give off an impression to users that they looking at a plane taking off due to the aerodynamic forms designed in addition to adding aesthetic value to the overall simple industrial-look building.
-The extensive clear-span canopy with its slender support also allows users to have shelter from the hot and humid climate with cool air ventilation along the check-in hall and drop off or pick up point.
