Design: the lounge occupies most of the width of the gate area but is not very wide (about 5 or 6 meters wide) so it has a long-thin appearance, with the overall space broken up into distinct sections with use of soft dividers (eg: shelving) to avoid the corridor effect. The overall style is relatively modern/impersonal (laminate flooring, standard airport lounge type sofas and armchairs, etc...). The lounge is not over-packed with furniture so keeps a sense of airiness, open space. Overall, it is not an unpleasant space to stay in even if there is no particular wow effect.
View: the lounge overlooks the gate area in the terminal with a glass wall all along. In fact, the lounge has almost the feel of a mezzanine over the gate area (albeit one closed with glass panels rather than open). The terminal itself makes abundant use of floor-to-ceiling glass so there is plenty of natural light as well as view of the planes. The long and thin design of the lounge means that this is true in pretty much all areas of the lounge.
Multi floors: no
Terrace: no
Smoking area: yes. The smoking area is a small room towards the end of the lounge on the right, the entry to which remains open onto the main lounge. Smoke could conceivably waft through into the main lounge. The room was not used by anyone while I was there so I cannot say whether it is a real problem or not.
Direct boarding: no
