An iconic station for a growing metropolis

PLH was assigned to redesign the Riga Central Station by reimagining the city's infrastructure hub as a vital connector and urban focal point. The project integrates an iconic new station building, additional railway lines, a modernised bridge, and expansive green spaces, redefining the arrival and departure experience while embracing Riga’s cultural identity.

Honouring Riga’s heritage through design

The station's design draws from the arched geometry of global station architecture, blended with local Art Nouveau influences. Its vaulted ceilings evoke fern leaves, creating a light-filled, awe-inspiring space that offers travellers panoramic views of Riga’s historic skyline. A cohesive design language ties the station, bridge, and infrastructure into an integrated urban framework, honouring the city's architectural heritage while paving the way for future growth.
