The station has an elongated plan with two rows of oval concrete columns on two axes, and a wavy roof is mounted on them. There are two wide side columns inside the space. The result of this design was an open and integrated interior space, which the sequence of columns, the contrast of concrete and glass, and how the light enters from inside, added to the splendor and sense of peace of the space. Upon entering, this building greets the travelers with a suspended and huge ceiling, and then passing through an array of columns, it reaches a hall with a high arch, which creates greatness in the viewer's mind.[3]
