Today, the existing station in Helsingborg is built into an anonymous office block. In the proposal by Metro Architects, the standalone station is expressed as a modern equivalent of the old train station from around 1860 which was located on the same site. The new structure will thus be an identity building and unifying node – for the station area as well as for Helsingborg as a whole becoming a signature building for the city. More images and architects’ description after the break.
With the expansion of the H + area in southern Helsingborg, the city’s profile will be strengthened as a creative center in the Øresund Region. In this context, the area around Helsingborg C, “Knutpunkten”, will play an increasingly important role as a cohesive piece of the puzzle between the wealthy north and the poorer south and between city and sea.
