Huttwil Train Station, CH-Huttwil
The small town of Huttwil is located in the Napf foothills along the Langenthal – Wollhusen rail line. The railroad — and thus the train station — has a long history in Huttwil, which is why the town’s main development took place between the church and the station. The volume of the new station building acts as a bridge between the tracks and the course of Bahnhofstrasse.
The natural, parallel alignment with the tracks and the street creates a polygonal, slightly distorted floor plan. This opens up to the new station plaza via the main entrance. Behind the entrance’s expansive glass walls are the waiting area, travel agency, and retail space. Above the reception counter at the BLS ticket office, a large skylight provides a view up to the roof and offers additional natural light to the customer area.
