Bus Shelter

Project idea

The Breathing Shelter - a bus shelter designed as a porous climatic membrane that filters harsh south east sun while enhancing passive airflow through a fectoline facade system and a ventilated floating roof.

Project description

The shelter concept is inspired by organic forms, translating a leaf-like shape into an aerodynamic roof structure. It creates a filtered microclimate using vertical aerodynamic fins arranged rhythmically in fectoline facades. The design prioritizes passive environmental control, managing solar radiation and promoting natural ventilation for waiting passengers.

Technical information

Primary structure uses steel tubular frame. Roof is aluminium standing seam. Facade fins are powder coated aluminium. Secondary skin is perforated metal. Seating is perforated steel. Floor is textured Kota stone. Fin specifications: depth 100mm, thickness 40mm, spacing 100mm, angle rotation 30°-60°, material is anodized finish.
