This project creatively revitalizes the terminal railway station, turning it into an engaging, multifunctional space with strong contextual ties to its historical roots. The adaptive reuse of train carriages as immersive spaces like an escape room, cinema, and interactive children's areas enriches visitor experience and appeals to diverse user groups. The thoughtful integration of natural elements, such as the playground and campsite, further emphasizes its role as a holistic recreational hub. The architectural clarity achieved through the contrast of lightweight steel structures with concrete elements, coupled with the sustainable green roof, showcases both technical sophistication and aesthetic sensitivity. Yet, additional detailing on pedestrian connectivity and wayfinding within the site could enhance navigational ease. Altogether, this project represents a commendable approach to heritage preservation and contemporary leisure infrastructure.
