Snøhetta's design for the cable car stations in Koblenz sensitively integrates contemporary architecture with the historical context of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, marrying modern forms with timeless heritage.
The valley station, located near the Basilica of St. Castor, features a gently curved design that pays homage to the historic church, offering a dialogue between architectural past and present.
With a metal roof upheld by a wooden framework on V-shaped concrete columns, the valley station harmoniously references local masonry, showcasing a blend of innovation and tradition.
The design won acclaim for preserving the architectural significance of the area while introducing sculptural forms that complement the scenic and historical essence of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
