Innovative Rail Operations Centre for Sydney Trains featuring a top-lit control room and open commercial workspace, designed to enhance the urban landscape of Green Square with locally sourced materials and a nod to Sydney's architectural heritage.
The concept for the new Rail Operations Centre for Sydney Trains was borne from a specific brief, which called for a vast top-lit, solid-walled control room atop several floors of open commercial workspace. This resulted in a unique building that positively contributed to the urban fabric of Green Square, expressing its function as railway infrastructure. Wide structural arches elevate the two principal facades, using locally made brick redolent of local warehouses, Sydney’s historical buildings, and Australia’s red earth.
