Archello | Genton Leads Design For Victorian Government’s Newly Announced Glenroy Station Project

We are proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Country in which Glenroy Station is located. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.

Glenroy Station transforms the heart of Melbourne’s north-west with a new public plaza and premium rail infrastructure. Delivered as part of Victoria’s Level Crossing Removal Project, the design reconnects the suburb with safe pedestrian access across the rail corridor, linking retail and residential zones.

A perforated aluminium canopy inspired by the local basalt plains offers visibility, permeability and protection, while warm copper tones enhance commuter experience.
