History
The station was built by the Leighton–John Holland Joint Venture under a contract numbered 904, awarded May 2011, which also included Lei Tung Station and sections of running tunnel. It was constructed using the cut-and-cover method.
Station layout
This underground station has two tracks and an island platform. The station's single concourse is located at the west of the station (near the bumper blocks), with all three exits extending from this concourse.
There are two artworks in the station. Along the glass walls of exits A and B, the work Tree Shadow in the Gridline, by Cheung Wai-lok, features shadows of trees in order to transition the exit passageways between indoors and outdoors. Meanwhile, on platform level, the mosaic Soaring Horizon, created by children overseen by Karen Pow Cheuk-mei, features the surrounding landscape on the horizon, including the sea.
Entrances/exits
South Horizons Station has three exits serving the residential buildings of South Horizons. There are two lifts for exit C.
