The new commercial terminal at MET – Montréal Metropolitan Airport represents a major new chapter for air travel in Greater Montréal. Designed around efficiency, comfort, and simplicity, the terminal creates a streamlined passenger experience within a contemporary architectural environment.
Maxxit contributed a range of architectural ceiling systems throughout the terminal, with baffles, ceiling panels, and linear planks extending across the check-in area, passenger lounges, circulation spaces, and exterior canopy.
In the terminal’s expansive public areas, linear wood-look ceiling elements introduce warmth and visual rhythm against the bright, contemporary architecture. Repeated overhead forms create a strong sense of movement, complementing the flow of passengers through the airport while helping establish a cohesive design language across different spaces.
The ceiling design evolves throughout the terminal to respond to each environment. Linear elements transition into sweeping curved and circular configurations, creating distinctive overhead features that bring dimension and architectural interest to large passenger areas.
Maxxit’s ceiling systems were also carefully coordinated with the terminal’s lighting, signage, structural components, and building services. This integration allows functional elements to become part of the overall ceiling composition while maintaining the clean visual continuity envisioned for the space.
At the exterior, Maxxit’s ceiling solutions extend the architectural language beyond the terminal doors, helping create a consistent arrival and departure experience from canopy to concourse.
The result demonstrates the role architectural ceilings can play in modern airport design. More than an overhead finish, the ceiling becomes part of the passenger experience—bringing together material, form, performance, and integration to help create an airport environment that feels warm, intuitive, and built for movement.
