Sydney Metro Martin Place Station is the foundation of the Martin Place Metro Precinct, a part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project. It is a key Sydney Metro station on the M1 North West & Bankstown Line. It is Australia’s most integrated station design project, critical to delivering the civic, pedestrian and transport connections of the overall precinct scheme.
As lead architect, Grimshaw collaborated with Tzannes and JPW, alongside the client Macquarie Group, to fully integrate the station with public spaces at and beyond the entrances. The brief was to create the positive customer experience of the future Sydney Metro users deploying exemplary, customer-centred design. In addition to new transport and pedestrian connections, multiple levels of retail and hospitality were specified and delivered. This project brings together requirements for safe and efficient customer access to transport with the need to integrate seamlessly into the continually evolving city.
Sydney Metro Martin Place is the busiest CBD station after Central and the foundation of an integrated development that has remade this part of Martin Place, Sydney’s most significant civic spaces. The station is generously proportioned and elegantly detailed, the neutral colour palette creating a calm environment where people movement animates the space. The architecture results in an easy experience for customers and a world-class station. Sydney Metro Martin Place sets a new benchmark for station architecture, the legacy of which Sydneysiders will enjoy for generations to come.
