Design
Cahaya station stands as a low-rise station along two tracks for trains traveling in opposite direction. However, the station was constructed as an at-grade structure significantly lower than most other conventional at-grade stations in the Ampang Line, mainly those along the Miharja-Cahaya route. The station itself therefore does not feature any public walkway running underneath the tracks and platforms, as other at-grade stations along the route have. Instead, patrons are provided with stairways on opposite sides of the track of a road-based flyover (Jalan Cahaya 1; Cahaya Road 1) over the tracks just northeast. The station's lower height may be attributed to the aforementioned flyover constructed close to the station, restricting the height of the adjoining tracks towards the Ampang terminal, thus affecting the height of the station.
As the station is at-grade and features two side platforms, the station designates individual ticketing areas for each of the station's two platforms at their level, ensuring any access to trains traveling the opposite direction is not freely possible. The principal styling of the station is similar to most other stations in the line, featuring curved roofs supported by latticed frames, and white plastered walls and pillars. Because stairways are only used to link street level with the station's ticket areas and platforms, the station is not accommodative to disabled users.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldnt be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. Theres a design in everything.”
—Sidney Buchman (19021975)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“You can make as good a design out of an American turkey as a Japanese out of his native stork.”
—For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
