Stationsstraat是圣尼古拉城市中心的商业街，它位于Grote Markt市场和火车站之间的中轴线上。为了改善交通状况和居民生活质量，材质的选用、绿化区的设计、旧地块的改造成为本次街道景观设计的重点。
从街头到广场：
此次街道景观设计的定位是将Stationsstraat改造成为城市中心购物区的中心骨干，使这条600米长14米宽的街道成为城市绿色购物廊道。街道的铺地是采用精心挑选的四色花岗岩混合材质与青砖搭配，使用者会有较好的舒适度。
功能车道：
这个看似简单的功能设计里包含了停车区、装卸区、绿化区、广场和台阶、街道设施等。三个水景设施也成为了车道主线的一部分。
绿化区：
通过对街道线路精心设计，更多的空间被用于绿化种植。包括一些地下空间，设计满足了植物必要的通风、灌溉和排水的最佳生长条件。
灯光：
功能性照明为场地提供了足够的光线和安全感。此外，装饰照明的设计提供了街道所需的氛围，它们被巧妙地融入休息长凳，露台广场和三个水景设施中。这些特色照明也展示了公共空间晚间的魅力。

The Stationsstraat is the main shopping street in the centre of Sint-Niklaas and is the central axis between the Grote Markt and the train station. The profile, use of materials and the present green areas of the old site puts the focus on the traffic situation in disadvantage of the quality of life. The big variations in materials in contrast to a heterogeneous patrimony results in a busy and fragmented image. This called for a redesign.
From street to square
The vision for the revaluation focused on the Stationsstraat as bearer and backbone of the shopping area. The street, 600m long and 14m wide, was designed as green, urban shopping promenade. Its profile was completely redrawn with levelled square construction from façade to façade for maximum quality of life. The paving is an uneven mixture of 4 shades of granite which was selected carefully in combination with bluestone accents. The focus is on the use, comfort and a powerful image perception by the user.
Traffic situation
The Stationsstraat was redesigned as a car-free zone tailored to the pedestrian and cyclist. The direction of travel from the Grote Markt to the Stationsplein was maintained. Motorised vehicles are directed in a safe and subtle way. Cyclists can cycle in both directions: in the direction of travel as mixed traffic or against the direction of travel on a clearly indicated bicycle lane. This bicycle lane will be linked with the wide pedestrian zone.
By providing a few automatic bollards, the flexibility of making this street partial or completely car-free is guaranteed.
The functional lane
A complex range of requirements, above-ground as well as underground, were distilled to what seemed a very simple design. A virtually central functional lane contains the parking zone, the loading and unloading zone, green areas, space for existing and new terraces, street furniture, etc. and is the thread through this redesign. Three water features are incorporated in this lane, including one mirror fountain at the level of the Salons of Fine Arts.
Quality green areas
By placing the utility lines with care, enough space was created for planting trees. This underground space including substrates was provided with the necessary ventilation, irrigation and drainage for optimal growth conditions.
An assortment of multi-stemmed, large-sized trees was carefully compiled in close consultation with the greenery department of the city, Daniel Ost (florist) and Kristof Swinnen (landscaper), both originating from Sint-Niklaas. The selection was made based on various aspects: winter green, blossom, leaf shape, autumn colouring, decorative bark, etc.
Beside the trees, some sculptured solid Buxuses were made which not only give a strong image, but also guarantee the continuity of green in winter.
Lighting
The functional lighting gives enough light and provides a sense of security. Moreover, decorative lighting gives the needed atmosphere. This was subtly integrated into a few benches, the terraces and the three water features. The lighting also shows off the quality of the public space both during evenings and nights.
