SSOE Group | Architectural | Airport & Aviation Design

From tarmac to terminal, we design environments that never miss a connection.

From the birthplace of aviation to the world’s busiest airport, SSOE has been a trusted partner in designing and engineering airport environments that move people efficiently, safely, and comfortably.

Airports are complex ecosystems. There’s the airside, where planes park and push forward. The landside, where cars are constantly arriving and departing. And everything in between, like terminals, concourses, utilities, parking, and traffic flow, all working in sync. At SSOE, we don’t just design one piece of the puzzle—we connect it all.

With a legacy rooted in large-scale aviation projects, most recently at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport—better known by frequent flyers as ATL—our team of architects, engineers, and planners delivers simple solutions to complex problems that keep airports operational while transforming them for the future. We design for takeoff by keeping you grounded.
