Lokmanya Tilak Terminus / New Wing

I know - it opened some time back - so it's hardly "new". But it was quite new for me. And I was pleasantly elated with the building, particularly with its scale and the quality of light. For a change, it did not have bulky over designed columns and a heavy roof. The barrel vaults gave it a sense of dynamism and airy-ness.

The different facilities were spaced decently well. The building was perfectly functional, had a clear diagram. Not glitzy, no patterning, not into frills, I felt it was after a long time I felt nice about a public building in Mumbai.

Any help on who designed it?
