The 455,000 m2 building is located between the present domestic and international terminals, parallel to the apron. It consists of two main structures, the "air side", a transparent glass and steel linear scaffold, and the terminal building at the "land side". The structures intersect where passengers leave the "national" area. The entrance/exit area is clad in partially screen-printed sheer glass and opaque glass while the eastern and western sides feature local natural stone walls. Special extra-clear glass at the north direction of the apron side creates a holistic experience with uninterrupted views of landings and take-offs and of scenery beyond. On the air side, the use of serigraph glass controls daylight; a mild veil effect supports temperature control.
