Guangzhou Metro Shahe Station redefines the potential of public transportation, merging as a pioneering 鈥渕ountain-integrated transit hub.鈥� Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of Baiyun Mountain, this project transforms the standalone metro station into 鈥渁 composite urban living room.鈥� Its streamlined roof is designed using parametric building information modeling, echoing the layered greenery of Baiyun Mountain. This is complemented by a six-tiered stepped terrace with 75% green coverage, forming 鈥渁 vibrant artificial mountain in the city.鈥� The dominant color palette of Liwan White and Baiyun Mountain Cyan reflects the beauty of Guangzhou鈥檚 natural landscape, evoking a gentle and tranquil atmosphere. A geometric lightwell choreographs the movement of sunlight throughout the day, staging a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. A sequence of white columns forms a rhythmic 鈥渓ight lattice,鈥� while yellow bands decorate the space like drifting clouds, creating a symbolic connection between earth and sky. Moreover, aluminum panels alternate with steel grilles in a 1:1 pattern, mimicking Baiyun Mountain鈥檚 sedimentary layers and contrasting with transparent glass curtain walls for a strong visual impact. By day, the glass takes on a subtle greenish tint, reminiscent of a distant mountain vista, imbuing the architecture with a fluid, natural aesthetic.

The project also dissolves the boundary between the urban core and Baiyun Mountain, creating a vertical public network. This includes an underground metro hub, a ground-level intangible cultural heritage corridor alongside a Qilou architectural space, and a rooftop garden with a viewing platform. The Qilou鈥檚 tripartite facade provides a sheltered gathering area. Along the intangible cultural heritage corridor, digital displays and interactive installations breathe new life into traditional crafts鈥攕uch as Cantonese embroidery and porcelain鈥攊ntegrating them into everyday life.

Design ingenuity extends to the station鈥檚 sustainable design. By optimizing skylight proportions, daylighting duration is increased by 40鈥�60%, saving 380,000 kWh of lighting energy annually鈥攅quivalent to the carbon sequestered by 2,100 mature trees. Furthermore, the ventilation system leverages the stack effect for passive, energy-free cooling, significantly reducing reliance on air conditioning and promoting the station鈥檚 low-carbon operation.
