The Runway Office – A Creative IT Hub at Muscat Airport

The Runway Office is a 400-square-meter innovative workspace located within Muscat Airport, designed as a dynamic environment for the airport’s IT team to foster creativity and innovation. This open-space office is thoughtfully designed to include various zones for brainstorming, collaboration, relaxation, and focused work, all while capturing an aviation-inspired aesthetic.

In the brainstorming area, a large touch-screen LCD and circular seating arrangements encourage team discussions in a friendly and engaging setup. The main workstation is a 16-person aerodynamic conference-style table that allows everyone to maintain eye contact and share ideas easily. Additionally, there’s a gaming corner with lazy chairs and a window-side seating area where team members can enjoy a coffee break while looking out over the airport.

The office also includes a zen zone with low Japanese-style tables for focused, meditative work, as well as a fully equipped electrical lab for hands-on technical tasks. A small cinema area with tiered concrete seating allows the team to hold presentations or simply relax and enjoy media together. There’s even a flexible library space filled with lightweight poufs that can be moved around as needed, and a conference room decorated with IT-themed graphics and circuit patterns.

Throughout the space, greenery is incorporated into the ceiling and walls, and large LCD screens display IT projects and updates. The exposed black ceiling and suspended “Runway” logo add an industrial yet modern touch, creating a unique and inspiring office atmosphere.
