“These awards are a strong testament to our pursuit of excellence, realising beauty, efficiency and sustainability with our Total Design approach.

Located in the heart of Hong Kong, the Admiralty Station extension connects four existing railway lines, becoming the largest interchange station in the MTR network. Arup was engaged as the lead consultant for this exceptionally complex and challenging project, and our scope covered railway engineering and project management, architectural and station planning, civil, structural, geotechnical, building services, traffic, fire engineering and other specialist services.
Our design realised a stunning skylight above the 30m tall atrium, which not only draws natural light from the street level to the underground space, but also creates the main spine for passengers moving between the various lines and to the hinterlands.
“This human-centric design enhances passengers’ comfort, experience and wellbeing, within a multi-level, underground station environment. This interchange station provides commuters with an easier wayfinding experience, where four of Hong Kong’s most busiest lines intersect and connect. Our Architecture team is proud to contribute our expertise to help shape our city and its sustainable future ”
Karma Barfungpa East Asia Architecture Director, Arup
