LOJA HIGH SPEED TRAIN STATION

This is an intermediate station in the future high-speed railway between Antequera and Granada.
The station is located in parallel to the tracks, on a lower bound due to the difference in level between the existing natural terrain and elevation of the platform rail.
The wild environment away from the city center will allow a gradual approach to the station from the highway nearby.
Protection requirements of the courses of travelers through sidewalks and parking canopies led to a global solution that unifies the image of the stations rooftops.
The passenger building is located next to the tracks underpass, as a bridge between the two levels of passengers traffic, up (trains), bottom (vehicles).
The station roof fold in its ends and in the main lobby, where the vertical meeting between the two main decks generates a large skylight for natural light to the station.
The exterior walls of the station is set back so that the roof perimeter produces great sun protection.
