Drinking fountains 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 drinking fountains are placed around the Metro stations, they were designed to follow the same overarching concept principles as the rest of the suite. A large diameter tube with an angled neck projects the flow of water forward on to the rolled stainless steel plate, which catches the excess water and channels it down into the grate at the base of the fountain.

One of the unique features of the design is the hands-free floor pedal, which offers a second point of opperation for elderly people and people with disabilities. Simply apply weight to the large floor pedal to activate the fountain. The design features a separate tap for filling your water bottle.
