Sydney Metro Waterloo Station's upgrade by John McAslan + Partners honours the site’s Indigenous roots, integrating themes shaped by local artists to reflect its deep history.

Sydney Metro’s Waterloo Station project merges contemporary architecture with the site's historic fabric, echoing a similar approach seen in John McAslan + Partners' recent upgrade of Sydney Central Station.
As Troy Uleman, director at John McAslan + Partners, explains: 'The incorporation of Indigenous themes, in collaboration with artists and design consultants, grounds the station in deep history while symbolizing a robust future for First Nations peoples and their living culture.' Much like Central Station, Waterloo Station’s integration of Indigenous artwork and design elements elevates the commuter experience while honouring the connection between place and heritage, creating a meaningful space that fosters community amidst the urban rush.
