Rotterdam Central Station - interior

This station connects subway lines, high-speed trains and buses making it the most important station in the Netherlands. 110,000 passengers go through it on an average day and the number will only increase in the future due to a couple of railway projects that might augment the influx to 323,000 passengers per day in 2025. The station's privileged position makes it a busy destination within Europe; destinations such as Paris, London and Brussels are a mere two and a half hours away.

The project has two different public faces: a simple glass facade on the side that faces a more conservative part of the city in order to blend in and a bold stainless steel-clad facade that invites the users in and creates a statement.
