Camden Station | Studio Egret West

Careful consideration was given to how the ‘tidemark’ between the original station and the new would be designed. The datum lines of the original tiling design have been carried from the old station into the new with a large black skirting area reflecting the tiled skirting of the original station and the new cladding panel modules aligning with the tiling line of the old concourse.   

We asked: what makes Camden special and memorable? We researched the history of the area and station, and looked at what would be happening around the station extension in the near future. With this in mind, we developed a public realm design which incorporated the themes taken from the original station and a music-focused retail venue in the disused vent shaft, an area devoted to performance. 

Inside the station we used circles to denote customer touch points, such as information and ticketing, and large rectangular forms to accommodate the retail uses and advertising.
