The Eurostar UK Terminal is a place where the journey begins. A 44 meter stretched ceiling resembling a skylight welcomes hundreds of passengers aboard every day.
Created in collaboration between Superimpose Architecture and ZJA I Architects & Engineers, the designers were inspired by the British and Dutch painters of the 18th century, whose fascination with the sky transmitted into their art. Much like inspiring those artists centuries ago, the cloudy skies above the North Sea became an inspiration for this project.
To replicate that airy effect, light is washed across a large translucent BARRI&MORE canvas with hundreds of Backlight Modules hidden behind it. Each module uses DiGi pixel control, so every single dot can be controlled on its own. The Tunable White color spectrum covers the full range from 2700K to 6500K, letting the sky feel warm or cool depending on the desired scene.
Since its release, the project has won many awards, including the ICONIC Awards 2026, Architecture MasterPrize 2025, Architizer A+Awards, WAN 2026, and Archello Awards. Our heartfelt congratulations to the team!
