Suzhou Railway Station

Project location Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province
Building area 85,800㎡
Design time 2006
Completion time 2013

Suzhou Railway Station is located in the north of the Old City. The development of rail transportation requires a new dedicated and larger transportation center to replace the existing facilities. The design’s challenge lies in ensuring that the large volume suits the smallscale traditional atmosphere of Suzhou. To retain the native architectural style, the design develops a rhombus symbol system covering the roof construction, the frames of windows and the patterns of paving. Additionally, the white walls, black tiles, gardens and corridors all ensure that this modern station becomes an organic part of Suzhou city.
