Bus shelters 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 trainline’s structural and environmental architecture.

The bus shelter is the most comprehensive element of the family, glass panels and a suspended glass side-wall provides extra weather protection and the bench uses the same profiled hardwood slats and loop armrests featured on the rest of the suite, all suspended with gussets from the lower crossmember.

The bespoke fabricated box section posts conceal inside them a downpipe for water runoff, electronic integration for CCTV and hidden uplighting which illuminates the roof of the shelter at night. The posts sweep back at the top to support an offset roof component, which provides shelter to the rear of the shelter as well as the main waiting area at the front.
