The creation of a memorable, meaningful and context specific experienceSummary
The new Northern Entrance of Adelaide Railway Station is part of Renewal SA’s vision to rejuvenate, renovate and upgrade the station, Dunstan Playhouse, Riverbank Precinct and Festival Plaza. Working closely with ARM Architecture and drawing on the firm’s hospitality and theatre experience, FPOV sought to redefine how a train station concourse can be lit with careful attention to detailing, indirect and integrated lighting, warmth and creating human-scale moments within the in public realm.
The resulting scheme provides compliance lighting in a clever and considered manner. FPOV are thrilled to be a part of the larger site project team and look forward to the completion of the Adelaide Festival Plaza Precinct.
Approach + Gallery
Combining a strong technical knowledge with creative skill and a different perspective, the FPOV scheme meets the stringent performance requirements of a high traffic train station concourse with primarily indirect and ambient lighting. The creation of a luminous and sculptural architectural envelop as opposed to a lighting scheme which is primarily focussed on providing lighting to the ground plane ensures that the scheme is low glare, and comfortable.
Results
The resulting lighting scheme successfully provides compliance in a clever and considered manner, achieving both functionality and aesthetics. The extensive coordination of the lighting elements maintains the architectural form's purity, contributing to a visually uncluttered concourse. The project's success is underscored by its recognition with the IES SA award and other architectural accolades.
