Edithvale, Chelsea and Bonbeach Stations | Cox Architecture
Located on the Frankston train line, the Edithvale, Chelsea and Bonbeach Level Crossing Removal Project reenvisioned the existing rail corridor creating safer crosscorridor connections and providing three new train stations and associated infrastructure to service the bayside community.
The design of the stations celebrates the historic barrier dune that once separated Port Phillip Bay and the expansive Carrum Carrum wetlands. A palette of sandy tones and eroded sloping forms pays homage to the rolling dunes. Each entrance to the stations is marked by either a beacon or canopy, which through collaboration with the Traditional Owners, convey aspects of their rich history and the importance of this place to First Nations people.
The project celebrates the deeper history of the site while improving connections between the suburb and the bay, and enhancing and encouraging the commuter experience.
