An iconic new structure of steel and glass, Jewel Changi Airport, further enriches the terminal landscape which has in the past won several awards for ‘the World’s Best Airport’. In line with Singapore’s reputation as a garden city, this extension of Changi Airport houses a five-storey forest valley and the world’s highest indoor waterfall, the ‘Rain Vortex’, which is breathtaking 40 m high.

The concept of Jewel makes it a world-class lifestyle destination to boost Singapore’s appeal for travelers. The ambitious project was designed by a consortium of consultants comprising Safdie Architects and the local architects RSP.

MERO, with a long history of involvement in the various stages of expansion and refurbishment the terminals of Changi Airport have undergone so far, constructed the single layer roof and façade structure of Jewel as a unitized system of star nodes and square profiles.

Jewel is the largest single layer structure ever built worldwide.

Based on decades of experience in the field of elementized building systems MERO once again realized a unique milestone in the history of architecture.
