Scott Street Interlocking Signal Tower Generatorunion Station Rail Corridor

The newly added infrastructure enclosure is well thought out and balances the historic Scott Street interlocking signal tower. It is carefully designed to honour the historic building, while turning a functional engineering requirement into a beautiful architectural and sculptural expression at a location that could have been easily ignored. The level of detail shown in this project, including the reveal space between the old and new structures, demonstrates a sensitivity that is often overlooked for public infrastructure within the city’s urban context.
