Gangxia North station
Gangxia North station is an interchange station for Line 2, Line 10, Line 11 and Line 14 of the Shenzhen Metro. Line 2 platforms opened on 28 June 2011, Line 10, Line 11 and Line 14 platforms opened on 28 October 2022. Measuring 220,000 meters square, it is 1.6 times as large as the nearby intermodal Futian station. It is the second four-line interchange station in the Shenzhen Metro after Chegongmiao station.
Line 14 concourse
Designed by Jiang & Associates Creative Design and China Railway Design Corporation, with Mr Frank Jiang being the Chief Designer, Line 14 concourse incorporates the "Shenzhen Eye" centre ceiling piece, which is a glass sky window to allow sunlight into the station, to try to eliminate the oppressive and dull feeling of underground space. The ceiling also uses the mathematical principle of Fermat's spiral. The huge columns acts as the main element of space for the large atrium. Louvered grilles regulates the day and night light, and alleviates the temperature pressure. The concourse was designed using parametric software.
