Cantonment Station is a 28m-deep underground station located beneath the former Tanjong Pagar railway station area.<\/p>\n
Ms Soh, who is managing director for RDC Architects, said that the old railway station was built on shallow foundations, and so there was the challenge of keeping these structures intact while digging underground.<\/p>\n
This was achieved by \u201cdiving deep underground\u201d below the railway station structures to avoid any movement that may destabilise the national monument, she said.<\/p>\n
The three-storey platform ceiling is a result of this added depth.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the much deeper depth, it became an opportunity for me to \u2018recreate\u2019 the double volume hall of the existing railway station and incorporate vertical glass mural design for the current volume space above the new platform,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Other than its platform with the curved ceiling, the walls and roofs of the Cantonment station entrances are a distinctive green \u2013 the same hue as the roof of the old Tanjong Pagar railway station.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether, these elements create a travel experience that blends heritage character with contemporary design,\u201d said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
It will serve the Everton, Spottiswoode Park and Cantonment districts. It will also connect to the Tanjong Pagar Distripark, where the Singapore Art Museum is located.<\/p>\n
At the station concourse is an artwork stretching 75m by sculptor Han Sai Por. Titled “A Journey Between”, it features flowing stainless steel sculptures of various colours.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media, the 82-year-old, who is a recipient of Singapore\u2019s Cultural Medallion, said she moulded miniatures of the artwork using clay, before it was 3D scanned and fabricated into larger sculptures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
