An entry for the Flinders Street Station design competition for the State Government of Victoria in Australia, with our team, including local architects K20 and consulting engineers Arup.

The process included a number of intensive design reviews. The design seeks to reinvigorate the historic Flinders Street railway station in the heart of Melbourne and to create a sustainable landmark development to connect the city and parks back to the river.

The scheme comprises a reinterpretation of the city grid through a multi layered Grand Central Concourse that links into a new elevated city garden with landscape punctuated with an array of innovative tree structures and canopies that filter light, capture solar energy, ventilate the platforms and harvest rainwater.
