This theme was designed by Vancouver-based firm ''Architectura''. The airport uses a great deal of carpet and vast expanses of glass to let in large amounts of natural light. One of the most noticeable places for an arriving passenger is the international arrivals hall, a large area where customs and immigration procedures are completed. Arriving passengers come down escalators leading to a platform across a large waterfall. In 2020, the expansion of International Pier D was completed with a glassed-in island forest with access to the outdoors and an immersive digital experience that explores the rugged British Columbia Coast.<ref>{{cite web |title=YVR's Pier D Expansion Project is Complete! |url=http://www.yvr.ca/en/blog/2021/pier-d-expansion |access-date=2022-03-15 |website=YVR |language=en}}</ref> [[File:20210129-Vancouver International Airport - Pier D Expansion (2020).jpg|thumb|alt=Pier D expansion with glassed-in island forest completed in 2020|Pier D expansion with glassed-in island forest completed in 2020]]
