As part of the METRONET Armadale Line Extension, Byford Railway Station marks a significant milestone in Western Australia’s growing transport network. Extending the rail line approximately eight kilometres south, the project enhances connectivity for one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions while setting a new benchmark in contemporary rail infrastructure design.

The facade features 3,300m² of Smartbric cladding in a carefully curated palette of Terrain, Rust, Copper and Spice, chosen to reflect the area’s natural landscape and community character. The blend of earthy tones introduces depth and warmth, creating a visual dialogue between the station’s built form and its regional surroundings.

Beyond its visual appeal, Smartbric provides the technical performance required for large-scale public transport environments. The system’s modular design and robust construction deliver durability, design flexibility and ease of installation, ensuring a facade solution that is both enduring and efficient.

Smartbric is a ventilated rainscreen brick cladding system that delivers a high-quality, durable brick facade when traditional bricklaying is not viable due to weight and limited space.
