CPH GO - Copenhagen Airport

As a marker that this is where the airport’s terminal buildings end and the flat runways open up, CPH Go is shaped like a “clamp” – a distinctive roof that folds down to form a ridge on one long side and opens up towards the open plain of the runways on the other. The roof rests on a series of column-beam sections, visibly creating a rhythm in the long gate. The building stands as an independent architectural element in a design language that harmonizes with the family of buildings that together form Copenhagen Airport.

The building’s expression is raw and industrial. It signals that CPH Go is aimed at low-cost carriers, but with a narrative that shows an alternative rather than a limitation.

In contrast to the other terminals' wooden floors and other Nordic color schemes, CPH Go offers a different experience. The tinted epoxy floor creates an internal variant of the surrounding, external asphalt surface, and the two meet seamlessly - without a change in terrain. The long back wall is colored in shades that evoke thoughts of the sky and sunset or sunrise, depending on preferences. Behind the wall, toilets and other service rooms are hidden. The long room is illuminated with longitudinal line light fixtures in the ceiling, emphasizing the extended spaciousness. The wayfinding is done in XL size as an aesthetic element, adding an extra design signature to the building. The terminal's back wall is a chapter of its own. Panels in beautiful, light colors are set up – with transitions in colors taken from Danish sunsets. Each gate has its own special colors with clear pictograms indicating where we are. Here, too, are the large toilets. One end of the terminal is blocked off by glass walls and passport controls. This is necessary as some flights to non-Schengen countries also depart from here.

CPH Go has a capacity of about 6 million passengers a year.
