People-focused
As one of our five new stations for Melbourne's Metro Tunnel, Town Hall’s design follows our ‘Open Metro’ philosophy, with fresh air and natural light flooding into generous underground spaces. Town Hall features a civic loggia, a protected meeting place for a rejuvenated city square.
Public transport is a great equalizer, it moves people and it doesn't discriminate.

Inventive
Town Hall responds to the dense CBD with dramatic entrances and cathedral-like vaulted volumes below. The loggia is an architectural continuation of the crypt, an engaging below ground space, which extends the city square experience within the station itself.
Responsible
All five stations on the Metro Tunnel are on track to achieve a 6 Star Green Star design accreditation from the Green Building Council of Australia, making them some of the most sustainable railway stations in the world. The ecological, material, and climate initiatives set a benchmark for future transport infrastructure, ensuring benefits extend to environmental performance, resource efficiency, and community wellbeing across Melbourne’s inner city.
We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of the land where we walk, work and live.
The design for all five stations as part of the Metro Tunnel is a world-class collaboration between leading design practices Hassell, WW+P and RSHP.
