The main intention for the refurbishment of Sant Andreu’s station was to renew the cladding, signage, and facilities in a soberest and effective way to emphasize and highlight the intervention on the dome. A complex system of lighting and projectors located in the structure of the central platform illuminate this great space, creating different scenes that make the area changeable and alive.
