Sweet Chestnut - East Broadway Train Station

Transport hubs are often high-traffic environments that demand durable, sustainable materials while maintaining a warm and welcoming aesthetic. At East Broadway Train Station, Sweet Chestnut was chosen for its natural resilience and distinctive grain, bringing a sense of character and longevity to the structure.

Sweet Chestnut is naturally durable, reducing the need for chemical treatments and making it an excellent choice for external applications. Its inherent resistance to decay and stability in varying climates ensures performance over time, even in exposed conditions. This aligns perfectly with the station’s design intent: a robust yet visually appealing material that complements the surrounding architecture.

For this project, all boards were carefully machined to specification, ensuring precision and consistency. The timber was supplied ready for installation, minimizing on-site processing and streamlining the construction schedule. The result is a cladding solution that combines sustainability, durability, and timeless aesthetics- ideal for a public space where both function and form matter.
