Sydney’s Gadigal Station has won the Prix Versailles World Title – Special Prize for Interior at the 2025 ceremony, recognizing its outstanding architecture and design. The underground station features expansive sandstone-lined concourses, sleek aluminium tube panelling, and futuristic platform areas that enhance acoustics and visual appeal.
The station’s design integrates Aboriginal cultural heritage, with artworks like Return of the Gadi Reed by Rowena Welsh-Jarrett, Alison Page, and Dakota Dixon, and The Underneath by Callum Morton. Gadigal Station anchors two towers: Parkline Place, a premium commercial building, and Sydney’s first build-to-rent residential tower with 234 apartments.
Since opening in August 2024, the station has welcomed around 15,700 passengers daily, with fast services to Chatswood (13 minutes) and Sydenham (9 minutes). The award recognizes outstanding architecture and design led by Sydney Metro, Foster + Partners, and COX Architecture.
