The design intent for the new Brightline station in Little River will emerge from the concept of movement through a global and local lens. Not only does a transit hub take pedestrians from “point A” to “point B,” but it has the opportunity to immerse users into the neighborhood.
Contextually, the site is adjacent to one of four rivers that flow through Florida, Little River. Through a local lens, the community has seen a movement in development, and our goal is to be a positive part of that movement while extracting and incorporating the local culture into our design to inform users and represent the local community. Movement, in this sense, will be extracted and utilized as a form of representing an extension of Little River while creating spaces for the community that interacts with the river and respect the environment in it’s situated in.
Through a global lens, a train station’s purpose is to transport and move people to their desired destination. Therefore, our design, wILL utilizE local forms of movement TO signify through its for that the enclosure that lies within is a point of moving in and out of the city.
