Vilnius Railway Station Complex

Vilnius city municipality, together with Lithuanian Railways (LTG), organized the open international architectural competition to redesign the Railway Station, Central Station Square and Public transport terminal in Vilnius, the capital city of Lithuania.

According to the jury’s scoring there were clearly two best entries: the 1. prize winner Zaha Hadid architects LTD London, and 2. prize winner B&M architects LTD Helsinki. The commission will be awarded to the selected architect in November.

B&M Architects’ entry seeks to modernize and streamline Vilnius’ transportation infrastructure by consolidating the city’s train station, local bus station, long distance bus station, and parking facilities into a single centralized hub. In addition to the 30 000 m2 station, 180 000 m2 of new office space, retail, and housing are proposed in order to densify the district and drive future investment.

The station district serves as a connective tissue, weaving diverse neighborhoods together and bridging Vilnius’ rich history and dynamic future.
