Further development of Bahnhofsquartier | Leverkusen-Mitte

2nd prize | In collaboration with Atelier30 Architekten

The new station building with adjoining bicycle parking garage marks the new station entrance with an appropriate high point and sets an example for the Wiesdorf, Leverkusen Mitte station district. Opposite the large traffic area of the bus station, the new station forecourt acts as a green link between the unvegetated functional area, the new station and office building and Rialtoboulevard. The interplay between paved surfaces, tree-covered areas of grasses and shrubs and a water feature means that the square not only fulfills its function as a high-traffic transit space, but – equipped with timeless, robust street furniture – also becomes an attractive place for waiting people, strollers and visitors to the restaurant. The station square outside the movement areas is covered with large-crowned, shady trees, which, in combination with the evaporative cooling of the fountain, promise a significant cooling effect.
