Created in 2015, this monorail station in Hiroshima city creates a calm, naturally lit experience for passengers with light beams that shift around the station depending on the time of day.
This station was commissioned by the Hiroshima government designed by the Tokyo firm Coelacanth And Associates and opened in 2015. Fingers crossed this is the future of travel- infrastructure design to make us feel comfortable and relaxed instead of stressed.

Definitely my favorite train station design! such great use of natural light and if you visit at the right time you can stand in one of the beams of light from the window and pretend you are on stage for a special performance all your own (why yes, I have done that!) lol
So cool!
