I think that it would be very suitable to choose a characteristic design for neighbouring street signs, and to locate art or sculptures and plaques that speak to the way that the neighbourhood originally came about.
I still think that "Warehouse District" is a good opportunity for some meaningful branding, and I hope the architecture "fits" and that the station interacts suitably with the Breithaupt Block and the other nearby buildings from the same era.
I couldn't agree more. But it depends how the region view this. Is it at the heart of the "warehouse" district or "innovation" district.
Something that ties into the surrounding buildings would be perfect, or at least parts of them pulling design elements.
