Construction and detailed design redevelopment project in the team of the Design Department, Investment Office, PKP S.A.
The project seeks to combine utilitarian issues e.g. service points, waiting room, ticket offices with passenger comfort and the historical.
The starting point for the project were historical photographs that show the station just after its opening. The reconstruction project refers to the original condition of the building, e.g. by restoring the original architectural form of the façade and roof, renovating the steel joinery of the windows located in the lobby with glass filling in the form of stained glass, restoring the historical layout of some of the rooms or the colour scheme of the passenger hall.
In addition to the reconstruction and renovation of the main body of the station, the project also envisages the reconstruction and expansion of the transport part connecting the station with the existing city tunnels and platforms.
The investor is at the stage of selecting a contractor for the reconstruction.

Construction and detailed design as well as author’s supervision in the team of the Design Department, Investment Office, PKP S.A.
IDS – Innovative System Station, is the development of a system design for a modular station, by assumption flexible in the shape of the area, allowing it to be used as a typical design, on the basis of which it can be effectively and efficiently adapted to local conditions and needs.
All 4 pilot locations involved the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new railway station and a temporary building to ensure the continued operation of the facility during the construction work.

The main functional assumption was to reduce the original usable area and volume of the building (in all cases the existing facilities were oversized, non-functional, difficult and costly to reconstruct) and to adapt the spatial structure of the facility to modern requirements and standards of passenger service, while taking into account the aesthetic qualities of the facility and the use of modern technologies, including renewable energy sources, facility management system or dynamic illumination (lighting up on arrival of a train).

The project envisaged basing the layout on two basic functional and utility modules: the station and the city, which are independent blocks connected by a common canopy – a walkway, creating a kind of ‘gate to the city’, and an additional module of a parking shelter. The building also has a slightly higher accent, the clock wall.

4 pilot IDS stations were commissioned in 2015 and 2016.
