The implementation of an artificial hill juxtaposes against the vast, open flatness of Anzac Parade, essentially acting as a key node of the landscape. The thin metal frame acts as both a shelter for passengers and as a visual marker through its coating of artificial grass, engaging the passer's-by interest through its unusual texture.
The hill-like shape of the frame is supported in its centre by 2 structural arms, which seem to grow out of the ground, much like trees. The spaces beside the 2 arms are elevated into rolling hills, emphasising the natural qualities of the station.
The flowing frame of the station reminds the viewers of natural hills, whether it is viewed externally or from within. Its ability to stand with minimal supports brings to mind the idea of sustainability and efficiency.
