Feilden Fowles wins National Railway Museum Central Hall competition

Out of five shortlisted teams, the one led by London-based Feilden Fowles was announced today as the winner of the National Railway Museum Central Hall competition. As part of the York Central redevelopment, the new 4,500-square-meter Central Hall will function as a welcoming space for visitors and bridge the space between the museum's Great Hall and Station Hall.

The jury praised Feilden Fowles' proposal for its sensitivity to the site's railway heritage and history, which is elegantly balanced with a contemporary museum aesthetic. The proposal was also popular with the public, who had the opportunity to view the finalist schemes in a free exhibition and online gallery.
