Dameisha Metro Station
.jpg)
Created as part of Shenzhen's "Tourism Line", Dameisha station serves the popular Golden Coast holiday destination. Previously accessible only by car, the station now links the resort to the city's broader metro network. The station's design was informed by its beachside location and integrates elements of the surrounding topography. Rooted in the coastal scenery, the design embodies a sense of freedom, tranquillity, and unhurried comfort, aligning with the overarching tourism theme of Metro Line 8.
The station's two-level interior features motifs that mimic the shapes of waves and the textures, forms and hues of sand and pebbles. A palette of soft whites contrasts with aquatic blues, evoking the interplay between the shoreline and ocean. The architectural language captures the mystery and romance of the sea's infinite movements, reflections, and the dynamic shapes of waves. At the heart of its design is a fluid ceiling pattern that extends to the walls, creating the illusion of underwater movement.
The ceiling was crafted from a curved aluminium profile that serves as a canvas for visual details, including perforations and graphic layering. Employing a single profile of single-curved aluminium throughout the main arrival hall allowed us to maintain visual fluidity while adhering to budgetary and construction requirements. By avoiding double-curved or twisted surfaces, we streamlined both the fabrication and assembly processes. Conical openings and oval skylights filter natural light into the underground station, simulating sunlight piercing the surface of the sea. Artificial lighting features, such as pebble-shaped chandeliers suspended in blue-painted voids, complement the natural elements, while ellipse-shaped LED lighting around central columns reference bubbles and ripples in seawater. Interactive marine-inspired details enhance the station's immersive experience.
