[2] Designed by the firm Cardete and Huet Architectes, the hall housing the planes has an ovoid section and forms an arc of a circle around a body of water,[3] and is extended by an uncovered surface of 5,000 m2 allowing the exhibition of other devices.

The metal frame consists of a three-dimensional steel tube trellis weighing 300 t manufactured by the Spanish group Lanik.

[citation needed] This building, of modest dimensions (20 m long, 12 m wide, 12 m high) was created in such a way as to contrast sharply with the A380: the rectilinear walls in prefabricated concrete panels and stained in black color contrast with the curves and the white color of the aircraft, both of which naturally stand out.

Glazed walkways allow access to the two decks of the A380, while offering a view from above on the North tarmac and in particular the aircraft of the Airbus family, A320, A340 and A380.

[citation needed] The North tarmac, the new building and the visit of the A380 have been open to the public since March 14, 2020, i.e. 3 days before the first confinement linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
