Station design
Created by artist Michael Davies in collaboration with Diedrich Architects, the Vermont/Sunset station’s design integrates themes of astronomy and medical imagery, reflecting the nearby hospitals and the Griffith Park Observatory. The flooring and wall surfaces display patterns inspired by celestial orbits and microscopic organisms, while an overhead star chart illustrates Earth's position within the cosmos. The elevator structure at street level features a domed shape that mirrors the architectural style of the observatory.
