The design proposes to create a station like a theatre stage - an extension of the local townscape, integrating the station with the town.The first floor is designed with highly transparent material to try and prevent any visual barriers that would create a closed off atmosphere between the plaza and station. Along with the waiting area for trains, buses, and cars, as well as the community centre.This space also serves as an observation deck and is designed so that visitors may enjoy the unique scenery of the sea, mountains, and townscape all in a single view.
