The station as a city block covered by dunes

Grimshaw Architects won prestigious Lubetkin Prize (gave by Royal Institute of British Architects – RIBA) for Southern Cross Station finished last year in Australian city Melbourne. Central huge hall is surrounded by vistas in every direction with entrances from every street, which made space easily obvious. The concept based on a wavy roof, that is a response to a hot climate and at the same time it visually approaches the new docklands to the city centre.
