The materiality and architectural composition of the new elements have been kept intentionally simple, avoiding added complexity in a building already enriched by multiple interventions over time. The interior design features minimalist geometries and refined materials that create a dialogue with the finishes and tones of the historical architecture.
With an annual influx of 200 million visitors a year, the Roma Termini station, a true icon of modern Roman architecture, has undergone a strategic transformation, reinforcing its role as a vital hub for urban mobility and commerce.
The intervention has reconnected this architectural landmark with the city, adapting its spaces to meet the needs of today’s users.
Taking a holistic approach, the project has reconfigured railway services, commercial areas, and circulation flows, enhancing the user experience and bringing the restoration and celebration of historic architectural elements to the forefront. A key focus has been to reopen views of the Servian Walls, a significant heritage feature, establishing a renewed visual connection from the grand hall.
Visual and spatial connectivity across levels was also central to the project. On the underground level, spatial quality was significantly improved by strategically opening shafts that allow natural light to filter down, visually linking the lower floor to the Gommata Gallery and expanding the sense of space.
