ARCHITECT(URAL OFFICE):
Herman Schelling

BUILDING TYPE:
Traffic-related buildings

In its early use of flat roofs and concrete, Naarden-Bussum Station signifies a radical break with all earlier railway station architecture. Schelling's preference for square measurement systems and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright is clearly visible in the horizontal build-up of facades and free linking of rectangular blocks. The carefully detailed main hall is lit by a large square lattice window above the entrance and high vertical lights in the side elevations.
