Glenelg Tram Overpass

This project was undertaken as a ‘design construct’ arrangement with Bardavcol, Tonkin Consulting and Nilsen. The Munno Para Train Station aims to deliver a new and upgraded transport interchange that will be a functional, robust and aesthetically pleasing precinct, integrating urban design, architecture and engineering components to produce a cohesive environment.
The development is an important opportunity to improve the urban fabric of Munno Para, providing an elegant, contextually appropriate and cost effective response for the public domain which becomes the focal point of the area and visually connects into the proposed ‘main street’ of the precinct upgrade.
The design considers the human scale and long term usage through planning a facility which is light, visually uncluttered and durable and the vitally important crime prevention through environmental design. The selection of materials comprises of a minimal palette to provide a visual consistency and deliver a subtle branding for the train station precinct.
