 Station 20 in Sofia, render courtesy Peter Ruge Architekten STATION 20 New Metro Station 20 on Metro Line 1 in Sofia, Bulgaria Competition 2011 Size GFA: 2,430 sqm Location Acting as a primary metro connection between Sofia's city centre and the airport, and the hub of a major commercial redevelopment plan, the design of Station 20 site seeks to establish clear pathways, form active connections and harmonise architecture and landscape.  Station 20 in Sofia, render courtesy Peter Ruge Architekten Site The sites linear structure is inspired by the pattern and scale of the neighbouring high-density housing blocks of the Druzhba residential quarter. The angular direction of the landscape reflects the natural structure of the site boundary, generating a visual language that informs the division of public spaces and creates pathways, guiding pedestrian flow to and from the station.

The sweeping canopy of the entrance hall emerges out of the landscape as a wave, simultaneously pulling the structure up as it pushes the plaza down into the ground to meet with the level of the concourse. Finely cast steel elements with a non-flammable canvas lining stretched underneath, create an elegant structure and a glowing interior, achieved through concealed and integrated lighting.

Visual connection from all entrances into the halls have been optimised to promote passenger safety, assist station security and maximise natural light. The concourse is further extended to include a shopping court, capitalising on high passenger flows, whilst providing future potential for an underpass connection from the station to the planned adjacent shopping centre development.

The center provides workshops that are organized for visits and experience of the workshop process. A ramp solution contributes to walk through the process is universally designed and available to all visitors. By making a visual cut in the existing floor, the wood flooring is recycled, and It seems like the floor is cut and lowered to the ground level. The ramp is moving around the main feature and hanging in the existing roof structure. + Design: Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture  Visitor Centre for Glass Art, image courtesy Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture  Visitor Centre for Glass Art, image courtesy Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture  Visitor Centre for Glass Art, image courtesy Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture  Visitor Centre for Glass Art, image courtesy Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture  Visitor Centre for Glass Art - Section, drawing courtesy Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture  Visitor Centre for Glass Art - Section, drawing courtesy Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture  Visitor Centre for Glass Art - Exploded axonometric, drawing courtesy Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture  Visitor Centre for Glass Art - Exploded axonometric, drawing courtesy Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen Design and Architecture
