About the project
Byford Railway Station forms part of the METRONET Armadale Line Extension, improving public transport connectivity for the growing Byford community. Designed by Weston Williamson + Partners and delivered by Laing O’Rourke, the station creates a contemporary transport hub with a strong connection to its local setting.
Design Intent
The station required a facade that captured the timeless character of brickwork while meeting the durability and installation requirements of a major public infrastructure project.
A palette of Terrain, Rust, Copper and Spice was selected to create warmth, texture and a connection to the surrounding landscape.
Outcome
Fairview supplied approximately 3,300m² of Smartbric Rapid brick facings in Terrain, Rust, Copper and Spice.
The lightweight, mortarless system recreates the appearance of traditional brickwork using facings installed into a vertical track system, helping simplify installation while delivering a durable facade suited to a busy transport environment.
