Project Description
Project description provided by Plus Architecture - Perth Airport has officially opened Australia's first airport Sensory Room, designed by Plus
Architecture within Terminal 1 International's Departure Lounge Area. The groundbreaking facility
represents a significant step toward a more inclusive and accessible travel experience for
neurodivergent passengers and their carers.
The innovative project has already garnered recognition, recently winning The Iwan Iwanoff Award
for Small Project Architecture at the 2025 WA Architecture Awards and progressing to the AIA
National Awards in Melbourne on 6 November 2025.
Working closely with Perth Airport's Access and Inclusion Advisory Group, Plus Architecture led a
design process centred on community consultation. This involved engaging with nearly 600
survey respondents, including individuals with lived experience of neurodivergence, alongside
their families, and carers.
