Project Description

Located within Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5, the Commercially Important Person (CIP) Lounge (now known as the VIP Lounge) provides an exclusive, premium environment for high-profile passengers, offering privacy, comfort, and luxury design in one of the world’s busiest international terminals.

Swift Crafted delivered the doors, joinery, and interior fit-out package, contributing to the refined, high-quality finish that defines the space. Our works included the manufacture and installation of bespoke joinery, internal timber doorsets, and specialist fittings, all designed to meet the demanding aesthetic and performance standards of an airside hospitality environment.

The project required meticulous planning and coordination with airport operations and security teams to ensure full compliance with airside protocols and minimal disruption to ongoing passenger activity.
This project highlights Swift Crafted’s ability to deliver interior fit-outs within complex, high-security settings, combining craftsmanship, discretion, and precision.
