> The underground Circle Line platform has two platforms in an island platform arrangement. Full-height Platform screen doors isolate the air-conditioned station from the tunnel environment, enhancing commuter safety and station comfort. A set of escalators, stairs and a lift connects the platform level to the concourse level one floor above. With the concourse wrapping around the platform, a large interior space is created that gives the impression of spaciousness. The platforms are wider to accommodate more passengers at CCL interchange stations such as Buona Vista.

## Art In Transit

### Circle Line

The Tree of Life by Gilles Massot:Scenic tropical greenery along South Buona Vista were the earliest impressions Massot had of Singapore when he first arrived in 1981. This strong sense of nature and greenery and its association to the name Buona Vista inspired this artwork. Situated close to Rochester and Nepal Parks, The Tree of Life is an attempt to bring the over-ground landscape to the underground station. This eucalyptus tree, though not an indigenous species, has been selected as the subject for its shape and texture of the bark, as well as the colour to complement the colour scheme of the station. Dimension and movement created through the use of tiling technique brings life to the station space.
