More than a station — a social and cultural meeting point on the shore.
Located in Mert Park, Samsun, the project is a multimodal transit and meeting hub. It brings an eight-bay intercity coach terminal, ferry services and the city tram together under one roof.
The existing fishermen’s shelters are preserved and woven into the building, alongside workshops and courses that keep coastal culture alive and market stalls for produce from the Samsun region. With a restaurant and 16 guest rooms — one of them fully accessible — the building is conceived as a social and cultural meeting point, not just a place to change trains.

Through users’ eyes
“I take the tram to school every day, and whenever we pass this stop, the walkway over the transfer hub catches my eye.”
“I’m a fisherman. When I come to my shelter, I like spending time with the other fishermen in the shared space.”
“When I visit Samsun, I love wandering the market stalls and finding local products you can only get here.”
