Uddhava Sharplin is a Design Consultant at Louvreclad with more than a decade of experience in architectural and façade design across Australia and New Zealand. She works closely with architects, engineers, and builders to deliver solutions that balance compliance, sustainability, and creativity. With her approachable style and deep technical expertise, Uddhava is the perfect voice to guide listeners behind the façade.
In our debut episode, architect Marina Evangelista (Rinna Design) takes us inside Sydney Metro’s Waterloo Station. From weaving Indigenous narratives into design, to the late-night redraws under COVID pressure, Marina shares candid lessons about collaboration, resilience, and how façades can be both performance systems and cultural touchpoints.
Beneath Sydney, precision engineering keeps Waterloo Station moving. Danielle Kwik, Associate Director at WSP, reveals how tunnel fans, smoke control, and mechanical systems deliver world-class performance. She shares how collaboration across teams helped balance safety, sustainability, and design, earning the project a 6 Star Green Star rating. Danielle also reflects on leadership, systems thinking, and the power of purpose-driven engineering.
