This is a model I’ve been working on that is still in progress, but it’s already starting to turn into a small train station concept. Instead of rushing into details, I focused first on the design process and how the structure would actually work.
At the beginning, I experimented a lot with the shape. I didn’t want it to feel like a basic box, so I tried combining different angled roof pieces until I found something that felt more dynamic. The sharp roof lines ended up becoming one of the main features, and I think they give the building a sense of movement, which fits the idea of a train station.
One of the parts I’m most proud of is the top section. I designed it to be openable, so you can actually lift it and see inside the model. I didn’t want the interior to be hidden, because for me, architecture isn’t just about how something looks from the outside. Being able to open it makes the model feel more interactive and lets you understand the space better.
The interior itself is fully hand-crafted. I worked carefully on placing small elements and shaping the inside so it feels like a real space, not just an empty shell. Even though it’s simple, I tried to think about how people would move inside, like where they would enter, stand, or pass through.
For materials, I mainly used foam board for the main structure because it’s lightweight but still holds its shape well. For the frame and more detailed parts, I used thinner sticks and cut pieces to create a more open structure. Everything was cut and assembled by hand, which honestly took a lot of time, especially when trying to keep the lines clean and precise.
Right now, the model doesn’t include the railways yet, so it still feels a bit incomplete, but that’s also part of the process. The next step is to connect it to its actual function as a train station by adding tracks and maybe more surrounding context.
Overall, this project is really about exploring how a design develops from an idea into something physical. It’s not finished yet, but it already shows how form, structure, and space can start coming together.
