Smart Design Studio was selected as the successful architect in a competitive process to design the new Rail Operations Centre for Sydney Trains. The design was developed in association with Jacobs. The brief required a very secure building with almost no windows on the upper half of the building. In addition to this, we wanted to create a building with a great connection to the new city centre of Green Sqaure.
Our concept sought to distinguish itself from the neighbouring apartment and commercial buildings by expressing its function as a piece of railway infrastructure. This led to the two principal facades with long brick arches, spanning forty and forty five metres. These work as substantial beams to support the heavy brick walls above and allow openings at the base.
