Singapore SMRT – Downtown Line
Singapore continues to expand its world-class network by grafting new lines and stations onto the existing system. ONG&ONG’s contribution to the Downtown Line project comprises three stations that feature design elements that are not only contemporary, but also environmentally sensitive.
1. Tan Kah Kee Station
Taking its design cue from the open, park-like setting, this station’s overarching theme is ‘nature and flow’. The entrance pavilions have been conceived as a continuous enveloping canopy, with a distinctly modernist feel of clean geometric lines, and green geometric panels.
2. Sixth Avenue Station
The air inspired this station. Enamel glass stripes of different shades of blue lead the eye from one entrance pavilion to the next. The design continues to flow down to the lower levels in dips and curves to suggest air flow.
3. King Albert Park Station
A water themes pervades the design for this station, the element reflecting the canal beside it. Enamel turquoise and blue-green panels suggest the broken surface of water, a conceit continued in the vertical and rippled patterns in the platform.
