TWA Hotel

The TWA Hotel is a place that is frozen in time. Designed by Eero Saarinen the building was meant to be the pride and joy of the now defunct airline TWA. At the time, they gave Saarinen essentially a blank check to make a building that made the journey as special as the destination.

Following the airlines bankruptcy the terminal fell into disrepair before being bought and restored as a hotel. Today you can visit the "head-house" to learn about its history and even enjoy a drink.

The video was featured as my first collaboration with Dezeen Magazine and has one of my favorite scenes where I run down the terminal-to-gates tunnel.
