Lang Bus Shelter: A minimalistic design for urban landscapes

Bus Shelters are an indispensable part and are the most ignored as well. People don’t pay much heed and once built these shelters are left to deteriorate. They have looked the same over all these years and hardly anything is offered to make people waiting for a bus feel special. Keeping all this in mind and with an aim to craft something appealing, Maite Otano has designed a bus shelter named Lang. It doesn’t look like a conventional shelter and comes sipped in a modern day flavor.

Lang Bus Shelter

The user-friendly Lang will be a perfect fit for cities, thanks to its minimalistic appearance that manages to fetch plenty of attention. It makes good use of empty spaces and also makes sure that the urban landscape is not disturbed or altered in any sense. It doesn’t need any special space or conditions to be installed, which is worth considering taking into consideration the jam-packed nature of cities. The bus shelter is quite sleek and has a curvy facade, which will protect travelers from harsh weather conditions, like wind, strong sun rays and rainfall, while they wait for the bus to arrive standing under it. Lang also features a bench that doesn’t have a back, which flexibly lets people to sit facing both sides.

The ultra-modern bus shelter has been crafted using acrylic natural stone that makes the structure quite sturdy and weather proof. The best part being acrylic natural stone is easy to produce and can be given any desired shape. The overall structure has been divided into two with the help of a safety glass. This gives birth to two separate spaces that will unfurl enough space that is double the number of the seats available on the structure. In case it has rained heavily and there are puddles all over which may spill water on the person waiting for the bus, the best way will be to sit on the side that doesn’t face the road. Lang bus shelter has been fitted with two LCD screens. One of the screens has been fitted on the outside and the other inside. These screens put on show crisp and clear crucial information. The LCD on the inside will keep the travelers waiting for a bus updated, while the outside screen makes sure that the information is even visible from a distance.

Maite has designed Lang in an intelligent way that will allow travelers to wait both sitting and standing. The dual displacement of this eye-appealing yet simple bus shelter not only creates more seats for people but also lets them sit anywhere they feel like. It will display accurate information that makes sure one gets to read the exact status on the arrival of buses. The information will be updated form time to time and will definitely be of great help. Minimalism is the basic essence of the overall design that will make Lang a cut above tradition bus shelters. So, wait for the bus to arrive in style and never miss on any vital information.
