Redhill Railway Station
Landolt + Brown have led the design proposal to upgrade the station entrances at Redhill for Solum Regeneration. This forms part of the wider development of land adjacent to the railway, creating a residential-led, mixed-use development located on a significant portion of the existing commuter car park on the town-centre (west) side of the railway.
The design of the upgraded station takes its architectural clues from Redhill’s brick-based architectural heritage. There are several exceptional brick-faced Victorian buildings in the town centre and the area to the east of the rail corridor is characterised by the impressive and substantial brick retaining walls that run alongside Redstone Hill.

The second entrance on the east of the railway has a more modest proposal, comprising a simple opening in the existing TOC building to form a new gateline enclosure. New coloured terracotta baguettes, installed in front of the existing TOC office building’s brickwork, will vary in colour shades and graduate from dark to light as pedestrians approach the entrance opening to the platform, complementing the raw and historic array of the existing brickwork across the site.
