Located in Sydney’s CBD, Sydney Metro’s new Pitt Street Station will help make Sydney more liveable and connected. The integrated station development features a 250-metre-long underground station that incorporates two independent entries located off Park Street and Bathurst Street. Reinforcing Pitt Street as a key hub in the heart of the city, it will connect customers using Sydney’s retail core and the expanding commercial and mixed-use areas of the southern CBD.
From the entrance to the platform the route is clear and easily followed, with high-quality materials used throughout to create a calm environment. Transitioning like a cobra from the passageways to the platforms, the ceilings flow beautifully, perfectly combining the 5,000m² of durlum bespoke curved bronze bulkhead and white horizontal aluminium tube ceiling and wall linings.
Particular detail was required for the design of the curved sections, as accuracy was critical. Each panel fits into the system to fulfil the architect’s vision, especially on the curved sections where the platforms meet the passageways. This required ongoing co-operation between the durlum and Foxville (installer) design teams to find the best solution and outcome for these bespoke panel systems.
