CONCEPT

Design Geometrics
• The architectural design is based on the principle of ‘Less is More’ using clean lines and simple geometry.
• The building profile is lining with symmetrical massing on both sides of the railway track.
• The internal spaces are designed to maximize and give commuters a sense of grandeur.
• The volume of the structure is designed to create specific user experiences based on the intended function of the said space.

Design Features
• It possesses double
discharge platforms at
every station, easy to
follow routes are
comfortable.
• The design had to be
modular to
accommodate the future
expansion for proposed
second railway line.
 Combination of voids • monumental
and enclosures result archway
into an artistic • visually
impression welcoming and
mesmerizing, inviting façade to
commuters and the passengers.

• The space frame wraps around the entire length of the platform, resting on a steel portal • tetrahedral modules forming a basic
frame spanning across the shorter side of the railway station. roofing web system.
 • The project of Kharkopar Railway station is one of the finest examples of a Green Building.
• the structural elements been designed keeping in mind the environmental impacts and benefits.

Natural lighting and ventilation

strategies are optimally monitored
through the sun-screen panels.

roof profile acts as an effective cover

to cut down the harsh heat of the sun.

• structure as solid triangular panels at regular interval provides sun-screens – a modern equivalent of the traditional jali.
• The detailing of the façade is done such that it enhances natural ventilation on the platforms while keeping the
rainwater away.
• The fins just below the roof on the external vertical façade are designed as horizontal louvers tapering towards
outside to enable the warm air inside the platforms to escape through them and the tilting towards outside ensures
that no rainwater enters the platform from these louvers.
 MATERIALS • combination of polycarbonate and aluminum roof sheet.
• light weight, low maintenance and durable sheets.
• The steel framed roof has enabled ,a column free island platform.
• provides modularity in design and flexibility for future expansion. • reduce the dead load on the structure .
• structural strong and comparatively lighter for such long spans. • bring in adequate diffused daylight.
• with high recycled content
• highly recyclable building material
• minimum wastage ratio. 30m wide
