The Box Hill train stations have a vivid and colorful history that has been the source of inspiration for the urban and unique bistro, "Platform 3". Box Hill's original station opened in 1882. During 1895, a large market opened next to the station. The early industrial feat and social market feel has been the starting point for the concept of Platform 3. It has adopted a design that celebrates and offers homage to the history of the area.
Platform 3 is situated right in the heart of the century old Box Hill Centro Shopping Center. Conceived as an elusive waiting lounge, sitting above the railway station, the new ‘platform’ offers a room for transit for the commuters. It is a unique place that is more than just a bistro but a place that locals can relate to and feel being a part of.
The success of this project was based on the place-making approach to design and looked beyond the brief. The idea of materialism was challenged with the strong use of industrial and hard wearing materials to reflect the history of the area whilst being set in a shopping center environment.
