The idea is to make the complex a highly recognizable city marker that will attract with its unique vision and combination of old and new. In connection with the communicative nature of the space around the station, the current development also places an emphasis on the square in front. The opening of this space is a prerequisite for the full perception of the complex.
The main focus of the project is the coverage of the platforms. It emerges as a link between the old and the new, as well as the bearer of the basic idea of the dynamism and originality of the proposal.
