Haga Station and Urban Space
Gothenburg, Sweden

Visualisation

Gottlieb Paludan Architects is the design lead architect for Haga Station in Gothenburg, responsible for the design of the station buildings, bus and tram stops, and urban spaces.

Haga Station is part of Västlänken, a major infrastructure project in central Gothenburg with 8 km of new railway, including 6 km in tunnels, and a total construction cost of 20 billion SEK. As part of this, three underground stations are being established, with Haga Station located in a cultural-historical environment near Kungsparken.

The project area covers 25,000 square meters, and the services for the task include work on and above ground, which includes the station buildings for the underground station, new bus and tram stops, as well as all parts of the urban space such as planting, pavements, lighting, and other urban furnishings.

The approach to the task is to create a well-functioning traffic hub while gently integrating with great respect for the cultural-historical environment. The project thus unites park, urban, and station environments into a cohesive whole across all design elements. Overall, the project's ambition is to let the city's spaces play the leading role, while the station buildings are designed as understated, functional pavilions in the green urban space. The task was won in collaboration with AFRY as a result of a first prize in a project competition in 2020, and the project is expected to be ready for inauguration in 2028.

Everyone should be able to move through our shared public spaces and buildings in a safe and dignified way. In complex environments such as stations, terminals, and other public transport hubs, universal design is not just a feature – it’s a fundamental design principle that ensures equal access and high functionality for all, regardless of physical or cognitive ability.

Lighting is an indispensable part of our daily lives. It shapes the environments in which we live and work, and has a significant impact on our well-being. When the lighting is right, it supports our activities, creates a sense of security, and enhances the visual experience of the spaces we inhabit. This is why it is crucial that lighting design is planned with care and insight to support both function and aesthetics in our spaces and buildings.
