It spans 112.000 square meters and includes an elevated metro station, a bus terminal, an underground parking lot with over 600 spaces, retail spaces, a mosque, and a large public plaza.
Architecturally, the station interprets the Saudi landscape in a contemporary way. The design unfolds through volumes inspired by the colors and shapes of desert dunes. Horizontal structures emerge from the ground, delineating the station’s entrances, guiding natural light into the spaces, and offering shaded areas for pedestrians.
Two large arches, with spans of up to 115 meters and a height of approximately 24 meters, support the main roofs, creating a monumental yet legible structure that is an integral part of the urban landscape, rather than an isolated object. Western Station is a project with a strong sustainable footprint. The structure was designed according to LEED Gold criteria, one of the most recognized sustainability certifications.
