Commuter Station

↑ section through site, offices, platform, and rail tracks

This small-scale design for a commuter station sited in Ann Arbor, MI uses a folding logic to wrap the necessary program spaces together into the compact site. The steel shell wraps around both a unit containing the ticket office and restrooms and around the platform.

The logic of the structure is one that can be easily repeated and modified at other stops along the line, giving a distinct character to the route and points of familiarity for the commuters who ride it from Ann Arbor to Detroit.
