About

The restoration of the Adelaide Railway Station Façade and Ramp Project prompts a newfound cultural and social connection to the heritage building in the heart of Adelaide and establishing the character of North Terrace.

The extensive repair work undertaken to the Adelaide Railway Station includes addressing historic damage, giving the building a new lease of life, and restoring its heritage value. The Adelaide Railway Station Restoration Project incorporates architectural features that reflect the simple and clean lines of the Free Classical – Beaux-Arts style in which the station was built.

The installation of Architectural lighting inside and outside of the station enhances the night-time presence whilst increasing the grand dimensions and striking geometric details.

The revitalised Adelaide Railway Station prompts a newfound connection to the historic building and culturally benefiting the public realm street scale of not only North Terrace, but the City of Adelaide for generations to come.

SMFA were recognised for their contributions to the restoration project, taking home the 2023 AIA SA Chapter Award in Heritage Architecture.
