The new Five Guys dining and lounge space at the Dubai Airport Terminal 3 offers travellers a refreshing escape from the airport’s bustling activity. The new interior merges Five Guys’ recognised identity with innovative, contemporary elements in the bar area.
Our goal was to create a space that captures the dynamic energy of the airport and turns it into an inviting eatery in which travellers can relax and enjoy their meals. We wanted to pay homage to the Five Guys legacy – we have embraced the signature red and white hues – while introducing features that enhance the overall dining experience: you will notice that the ceiling’s LED light patterns cast a warm glow on the travellers.
The sleek high stools with plush red cushions in the bar area evoke a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of American-style diners from the 1970s. The bar top, crafted from red resin with white accents, complements the colour scheme, while the base is adorned with white tiles arranged in varying sizes, mirroring the dynamic energy of the airport
The long communal table serves as a social hub; combining a wooden top inlaid with smaller white tiles and a distinctive red-tiled base, it creates a tactile atmosphere. The surrounding grey-cushioned chairs offer a sense of casual refinement.
A custom-made central light hanging above reinforces the retro-inspired design. The floor around the communal table features a striking mosaic of red and white tiles, creating a visually captivating centrepiece that anchors the space. The alignment of the tiles represents the harmonious yet playful tension between innovative design and the classic Five Guys visual identity.
Blending comfort and style, the booths integrate red and grey elements with a cool metal structure. Stylish wall lights and wooden tables complete the setting, making these booths perfect cocoons in which travellers can unwind.
Minimalist line art created from neon light adorns the walls, featuring the iconic Five Guys logo as well as other dynamic patterns in vibrant red paying homage to ‘old’ and ‘new’ Dubai. This decor forms a key focal point, with ceiling lines directed towards it to enhance its prominence and create a dynamic visual flow.
Red metal frameworks and custom light fixtures reinforce the retro yet contemporary feel, seamlessly blending still-loved classic elements from 1970s restaurants with modern aesthetics fitting for the contemporary age.
