Bin enclosures for Sydney Metro Northwest, the line opened in 2019 and connects Sydney’s booming north western suburbs to the CBD. The suite of furniture was designed to reflect the visual conceptual expression of the train-line’s structural and environmental architecture.

The bins were designed to accommodate a standard wheelie bin, raw stainless steel panels front and back act as a practical easy-to-clean surface, the charcoal powder coated hood covers the top and sides to help the bin blend in with the surrounding environment and provide cover to the openings, red and yellow rings around the openings identify waste type.

The two-sided bin design was developed so that both sides appear to be visually symmetrical, whilst functionally they work to allow operation and service. One side is a supportive structural frame with surface mounting fixtures at the base, the other half is hinged to allow access and secured with a lock.
