A Private Hangar Designed for Life, Work, and Flight
A Private Hangar Designed for Life, Work, and Flight
A multi-purpose private aviation environment designed to support business, family life, and personal passions — seamlessly under one roof.
For this Scottsdale-based family, a private aviation hangar wasn’t just about housing an aircraft. It was an opportunity to create a highly personal, multi-functional environment that supports how they live, work, and gather, all with the discretion and performance private aviation demands.
Crimson Design Group was brought in to design a space that could do many things exceptionally well: serve as a professional setting for business operations and client meetings, function as a relaxed lounge and entertaining space for family and friends, showcase a curated automobile collection, and, of course, operate flawlessly as an aircraft hangar. The result is a thoughtfully layered environment where lifestyle and logistics coexist without compromise.
The Vision
Create a private environment that adapts effortlessly between business, family life, and personal passion.
The family needed spaces that could shift seamlessly from professional to personal, from hosting client meetings during the day to gathering with family or entertaining guests in the evening.
Crimson approached the design with the understanding that this was not a single-purpose facility. Every zone needed its own identity, while still feeling connected to the whole. The hangar, offices, lounge, and executive meeting spaces were designed to function independently, yet together form a cohesive, intentional environment that was anything but typical.
The Approach
Highly coordinated, Red Glove design that balances technical demands with lifestyle-driven detail.
Crimson’s approach began with deep listening. Understanding how the family planned to use the space — day to day and over time — informed every design decision. The team worked closely with aviation consultants, builders, and specialty trades to ensure operational requirements were met without intruding on the experience of the interior spaces.
Inside, Crimson layered materials, lighting, and furnishings to create a progression of environments: focused and professional in the office and meeting areas, relaxed and welcoming in the lounge and kitchen, and gallery-like in the auto collection showroom. Transitions between zones were carefully choreographed to maintain privacy while preserving openness and connection.
The Impact
A private aviation space that supports an entire way of life.
The completed hangar functions as far more than an aviation facility. It serves as a private headquarters for business, a place to host clients with confidence, and a comfortable environment for family gatherings and personal enjoyment.
“This wasn’t about designing a hangar, it was about designing a place where life happens, with flight simply being part of the rhythm.”

Our Favorite Details
What makes this project special is how intentionally each space was designed to support a different mode of use. Private offices and meeting rooms offer a calm, professional atmosphere for focused work and client conversations. The lounge and kitchen/bar shift the tone toward comfort and connection, encouraging downtime and informal gatherings.
The auto collection showroom is treated like a gallery, allowing prized vehicles to be displayed with the same care and attention given to fine art. Throughout the project, lighting plays a critical role — adapting to different activities while maintaining a cohesive, refined aesthetic.
Bold.
Unexpected.
Memorable.
Notes from the Design Team
Projects like this require an exceptional level of coordination. Every decision had to account for technical aviation requirements, business needs, and the personal preferences of the family (often simultaneously). That complexity is where Crimson’s Red Glove process truly shines.
From early planning through final installation, the team remained closely involved to ensure each space functioned exactly as intended. The result is an environment that feels effortless to use, because every detail was carefully considered behind the scenes.
