CONCEPT
The Old Paco Railway Station will be preserved and restored to its original form, serving as a museum that educates present and future generations while being integrated with a modern train station. The new design blends heritage with contemporary architecture, featuring Low-E glass roofing, white finishes to reflect heat, water features, gray water recycling, and a green roof to reduce urban heat. A central highlight is the creation of green public spaces, including natural vegetation, a sky park, and cooling water elements, ensuring a lasting urban oasis amid rapid development. The project honors history, promotes sustainability, and enhances community life by uniting cultural preservation with environmental responsibility.
