Adelaide Railway Station Entry
ARM Architecture
Our Adelaide Railway Station Entry Concourse project delivers an immersive pedestrian concourse connecting the Adelaide Railway to the Riverbank. It is the first delivered element of ARM’s Festival Plaza Design within the Riverbank Masterplan
The station concourse interior was conceived as an organic vaulted arcade, a carved interior space from the rocky escarpment, reminiscent of the Garlick and Jackman Neoclassical interior of the Adelaide Railway Station Hall. The vaults were sculpted organically, but also pushed and pulled to align with an integrated structural column design supporting the SkyCity building above. This allowed the arches to touch down to ground around each column, resulting in a rhythm of intersecting vaults and an immersive experiential collection of volumes.
The design recognises form as function, utilising architecture as sculpture to create a space that transforms a previously forgotten part of the Riverbank, resulting in a new sense of pride in place for Adelaide.
