A suburban station that is part of Singapore's Northeast Line Expansion, Buangkok Station is sited in a high-density residential estate filled with multi-story towers. In conformance with Singapore's active civil defense program, the station was built entirely below grade. The open layout, decorated surfaces and warm artificial lighting create a comfortable environment that softens the effects of the underground, low-ceiling location. Taut wings of Teflon-coated fabric shield pedestrians from the elements, while providing a central focus and public visibility.
