Flinders Station


 

The proposal for Flinders Street Station involves reprogramming all four sides of the urban block to open up each side and re-establish the lost connections with the CBD, Federation Square, riverfront and Southbank.

The building form is to remain at the same height as the existing heritage frontage, and the tracks are to remain open, pushing the program to the periphery of the station, activating the corners of the site.

Similarly, the ticketing gates are to be redistributed throughout all four sides to promote access and permeability.

The old entrance is to be rejuvenated as a shopping mall, drawing inspiration from the South East Asian city. The roof structure over the new shopping center will be formed from photovoltaic tiles that will provide up to 50 per cent of the stations energy requirements.
