Denton Corker Marshall is currently acting as Architectural Lead for the Western Project Alliance series of level crossing removals in the western suburbs of Melbourne.
The first in the suite of projects, the Kororoit Creek Road Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) references the industrial nature of the site. The cladding is envisaged as a robust series of tubular battens, directly referencing the tubular forms of pipework and chimneys of the nearby Mobil refinery.
This bold device delivers an elegant and distinctive sculptural expression, noted by the State’s UDAP as an exemplary solution to the rail-over road conditions.
