This will replace the current underpasses and enable barrier-free access both to the platforms and to the area behind the tracks.
Atelier BYRO architekti designed a solution that respects the architectural principles of the original authors and works with them in a contemporary language. In the future todays departure hall will be used exclusively for passenger check-in which will become the stations main public space.
For the winning design the jury praised the opening of the northern facade which allows the orientation of the check-in hall towards the tracks and creates a new visual connection between the city and the landscape beyond the track. She also positively evaluated the roofing of the area in front of the check-in hall which increases the comfort of passengers when changing to the bus offers the possibility of use for a cafe with a garden and at the same time creates shading for the adjacent interior spaces.
The proposals also focused on the facade of the building from the 1970s which after reconstruction is supposed to meet todays technical requirements. In addition they developed a conceptual proposal for the use of the high-rise part of the station they were also supposed to focus on the transformation of the former restaurant into an exhibition of works of art from railway buildings.
In the near future the public will also be able to familiarize themselves with the future form of the station in detail the Railway Administration plans to organize an exhibition of the award-winning competition designs.
