T4 is the first of Changi’s terminals with unobstructed views of the runway from the check-in hall, through the 300m-long, double-volume day-lit Central Galleria that is fully glazed on both sides, serving as a central landmark for natural wayfinding. Singapore’s reputation as a “Garden City” is celebrated in the lush 200m-long green wall forming the background of the arrival claim belts, while trees rise up between baggage belts toward the Petal Cloud kinetic artwork dancing above.

A symmetrical petal shape, inspired by the orchid petals of Singapore’s national flower, is the design motif that pulls through the bespoke Changi Experience, while carefully curated art pieces bring a feel of local culture and heritage.

The Heritage Zone, at the end of the departure transit hall, features local produce stores, while demonstrating the architectural evolution of the Singapore shopfront. A giant LED screen depicts two realistic shopfronts, blending in with their surroundings, that at showtimes melt away into a performance of Bunga Sayang, a local romantic musical specially written for T4.
