Jackson Hole Airport
Jackson, Wyoming
With the Teton Mountain Range as its backdrop, the Jackson Hole Airport offers tourists their first and last impression of the community. With strict site boundary limitations — it is the only U.S. airport within a national park — and its dramatic natural surroundings, the renovation and expansion position the airport as a refined, understated foreground feature of the landscape. Vernacular woods, exposed structural elements, an emphasis on human scale, and a celebration of historic western heritage are among Jackson Hole’s distinguishing features. Gensler also created a new brand identity that is deeply rooted in Jackson Hole’s culture — and is a playful interpretation of a signature branding technique employed by ranchers to organize their cattle.
