Two stations designed by architecture studio John McAslan + Partners have opened as part of the latest phase of the Sydney Metro, which opened to passengers yesterday.
Completed as part of the Sydney Metro, which is reportedly Australia's largest public transport project to date, John McAslan + Partners designed the addition to Sydney Central Station and the underground Waterloo station.

The stations were built as part of the first phase of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest line, which runs from Chatswood to Sydenham through central Sydney. It connects to the Metro North West line, which opened in 2019.

At both stations John McAslan + Partners sought to "emphasise clarity and calm" to improve daily experiences for passengers.
"Public transport performs a critical function in relation to urban fabric and today, more than ever, it is fundamental to the impression and liveability of any city," John McAslan + Partners founder John McAslan said.
"In this way we hope that our designs for both Sydney Central and Waterloo stations transcend their immediate function by making the passenger experience as effortless and enjoyable as possible."...
