Architecture AND have completed a new cafe pavilion, station access upgrade and landscape at heritage-listed Hyde Park & Museum Station, in the historic context of Hyde Park, Sydney’s premier landscape space. The design for the cafe and access upgrade retains the form and solid materiality of the existing heritage listed train station, inserting a cafe with an elegant, fine roof structure that reaches out and embraces the park landscape beyond.
The project establishes a new visual and physical link from Museum Station through to Hyde Park, which was proactively proposed by Architecture AND, and was not part of the initial brief. This subtle permeability significantly enhances this corner of the urban landscape of the park, extending the benefits of landscape into the building, through the building, and into the city beyond.
Architecture that's second to nature AND design thinking to make cities work. Working across a breadth of natural and urban settings, our projects are materially rich and geometrically precise, with a deep sense of care underpinning all that we do.
