Railway Traffic Control Center
Firm
STATUS
Concept
The client’s goal was to achieve a professional, functional, recognizable, technologically advanced, and simultaneously rational architectural design for the new Railway Traffic Control Center, planned to be located in Ljubljana at the intersection of the Metelkova Street extension and Masarykova Street. The site placement and dimensions of the building were determined by the zoning plan for the broader area.
The core idea of this architectural design is for the building’s appearance to reflect the functional significance of one of the country’s most critical and secure facilities for railway traffic control, while also providing maximum comfort for its users.
The building has a technical aesthetic, with narrow, elongated window lines, shading panels and parapets symbolizing the landscape of railway tracks, installations, and train compositions, thereby emphasizing its connection to railway infrastructure.
The shading in the form of raised horizontal panels made of perforated metal, serve both aesthetic and functional purposes by preventing overheating of the interior spaces and reducing glare and reflections. The technological-industrial feel of the building is softened by the inclusion of vegetation, which serves as a pleasant extension of office spaces. Together with the shading panels, the greenery directs views and acts as a noise absorber, mitigating the free transmission of sound from the surroundings to the glass surfaces.
The floor plan of the building is designed to meet specific technological needs while adhering to strict security protocols. The layout consists of three equally wide zones, allowing for flexible room arrangements along the perimeter and efficient organization of internal circulation. The central core layout provides flexibility and the potential for future reconfiguration of the floor plan to adapt to changing programmatic needs.
The outdoor spaces are arranged as a combination of green and paved areas, connecting to the broader open space. In areas with natural terrain, tree planting is intended, while the roof of the basement levels will feature a paved platform with clusters of low vegetation arranged as small hills and integrated urban furniture. The circular motif in the landscaping acts as a counterpoint to the pronounced linear elements of the railway tracks, emergency routes, Masarykova Street, and façade elements.
