Railway Station Ebreichsdorf

The new railway station was completed in 2023, and the railway line that previously divided the town now runs on a new alignment between Ebreichsdorf and the district of Unterwaltersdorf on an elevated route. In the context of the municipality's spatial and development planning, this location was chosen because the two communities are expected to gradually merge over the coming years, and future development opportunities and prospects regarding the connection of the urban areas and the integration of the new railway station were to be comprehensively considered from the outset. Andreas Buchberger Andreas Buchberger Ebreichsdorf is experiencing rapid population growth, and the town now has around 12,000 inhabitants. Andreas Buc... More

Railway Station Wampersdorf

The station is an important stop along the Pottendorfer rail line which connects Vienna´s city center to its suburban peripheries. Andreas Buchberger Andreas Buchberger Andreas Buchberger Wampersdorf is a multimodal Highline Station where Rail, bus, pedestrian and bicycle traffic were intertwined in an inviting structure to create space for a new culture of switching to public transport and active mobility. Accessibility for all, short distances between bus and train, two new lifts, weather-protected platforms, a bright underpass and tactile guidance systems are some of the main features. As a busy cycle route crosses the tracks, it was integrated into the station underpass, with care being taken to ensure that th...

AQ1 Althan Quartier Francis

Located at Vienna’s Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof, AQ1 Althan Quartier Francis transforms a late twentieth-century railway station into a contemporary mixed-use urban district while retaining the architectural value and embodied carbon of the existing structure. The project by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects and Josef Weichenberger Architekten demonstrates how large-scale regeneration can prioritise adaptive reuse over demolition, balancing environmental responsibility with changing urban requirements. Rather than replacing the station complex, the intervention builds upon its structural logic, creating a more permeable and publicly accessible neighbourhood centre. Gebhard Sengmüller   Adaptive reuse as a sustainabi... More

YONGSAN STATION YOUTH DOSIRAK

The Yongsan Station Youth Lunchbox Project is a meaningful initiative organized by Korail, aimed at establishing lunchbox stores within train stations to revitalize the local economy and create employment opportunities for young people. kwonbyungguk kwonbyungguk kwonbyungguk This design began with a focus on a core challenge faced by youth: the realistic burden of costs. By introducing a modular system based on the smallest unit, the project enhances scalability and ease of assembly. Additionally, by adopting a factory-built, integrated production method instead of on-site assembly, construction quality is reliably secured, and the construction period is shortened. Through this approach, unnecessary processes and costs are... More

Metronet: Morley-Ellenbrook Line

Human scale and local materiality are at the core of the Woods Bagot-led designs for METRONET’s Morley-Ellenbrook line. METRONET’s Morley-Ellenbrook Line creates 21km of new track, connecting the northeastern suburbs and Perth CBD. Five new integrated station precincts link various places of character and landscape along the unique Perth Swan Coastal Plain. As if chapters in a story, the design approach positions each station within a line-wide narrative while also allowing each of the five precincts to possess its own identity and unique elements. Trevor Mein Trevor Mein The project is the most significant expansion of the rail network since the Mandurah Line was built in 2007. Comprising 21 kilometres of rail conn... More

Together they emit a remarkable inviting charm, despite its cold industrial character. One term comes to mind - industrial warmth - dirty old town. Is the bridge a place to be? Why not. A sunset on the bridge is just as spectacular as in the Swiss Alps. You just trade the mountain backdrop for a variety of concrete facades and the view of trains accelerating through the onset of dusk, as if trying to escape the darkness and catch up with the d...

University Station, Birmingham

This is a BLASTguard glass balustrade installation by Miller Fabrications at the University Station in Birmingham.  As a busy train station, a top-of-the-range balustrade was required to provide the highest quality of safety. More and more transport locations are upgrading their sites in order to improve the security of the public. This could be as a result of the new upcoming Protect Duty that is coming into force as a result of the terror attack at Manchester Arena in 2017.  Pure Vista Pure Vista developed an anti-terror glass balustrade system with two variations. BLASTguard to withstand a bomb blast and BULLETguard that utilises bullet-proof glass.  The BLASTguard balustrade system was designed in line with Pure V... More

Modern Accord Depot

Revitalizing a storied structure in a small town, a historic train depot gets a new life as a colorful, dynamic dance studio. Brad Feinknopf In the small upstate New York town of Accord, a 1902 train depot remained a local landmark over the years, despite changing times and uses. The historic structure was one of several nearly identical depots dotted along the local train line, many of which remain today. The Accord Depot had many past lives – as a bed and breakfast, and most recently, a restaurant  as a community arts center, an ice cream shop, and most recently, a brief stint as a restaurant – which meant it endured many numerous incomplete and uninspired renovations over the years, slowly falling into disrepair....

Tulum Train Station

The station sits in the beach resort of Tulum, in the Mexican Caribbean, along the Riviera Maya. The primary goal in the design process was to push the sustainability agenda to the foreground and to find in that optimized performance a narrative which would speak about the qualities of pre-Hispanic Mayan Architecture through the use of light, shadows, patterns, materials and vegetation. AIDIA STUDIO   One of the key elements was to minimise the footprint of the station, so after exploring different spatial configurations, an eye-shaped footprint, widest at the centre, where the main functions converge, seemed the most efficient use of space. This was enhanced by stacking the public programme of the station above the platforms de... More

Glenroy Station

Through creativity, quality and attention to detail, Glenroy Station offers an elevated experience of station design. Redefining the suburb’s heart with a central public plaza, the Glenroy Station project strengthens pedestrian connections between the retail centre and new development areas through the creation of a public forecourt spanning the rail trench and above the platforms. Delivered by the North Western Program Alliance, as a part of the Victorian Government’s Level Crossing Removal Project, the project sees the removal of the level crossing at Glenroy Road, through which 19,000 vehicles pass daily. Transforming the centre of Glenroy, the station precinct provides new green public spaces, linking the east and west si... More
