Description from Slade Architecture
The lounge was designed to provide the relaxed luxury that Virgin’s Upper Class passengers expect with a warm and distinctly Uptown Manhattan feel.
The 10,000sf Clubhouse is bounded on two sides full height expansive views over the jetways and virgin aircraft immediately below. In the center of the lounge, the cloud shaped cocktail bar is enclosed by a diaphanous, curving “wall” of stainless steel rods and walnut fins; mediating views from and through the space and creating a series of distinct spaces. This is the heart of the lounge around and through which guests move in a rhythmic syncopated flow to the many unique amenities that passengers have come to expect from a Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse.

Ridiculous design. I can see the pitch now with much over use of the word ‘Funky’ and a design process which involves pilfering the superficial pseudo space-age crap from every dismal Austin Powers movie. Massive fail!

The design doesn’t create a comfortable atmosphere for travellers to relax. And why call it “Upper Class”?
