Glass bus shelter HSI® TWO

Timeless and elegant design for modern waiting shelters. Made to meet the requirements of the Swiss Equality Act and with many design options. First used in Biel in 2001 and designed by Biel architects Bauzeit Architekten, this waiting shelter is now a stylish fixture of the watch-making metropolis on the Jura Arc. Together with Bauzeit, BURRI has carried over the original design of the waiting shelter for its modular concept HSI® TWO. Stopping points are focal elements in the urban structure of a city. They have an important function to fulfil for the local population and convey a range of messages, sometimes discreetly, other times as a deliberate backdrop intended to lend character to their surroundings. With its elegant design, HSI TWO cleverly straddles these roles while setting subtle architectural accents and even quite deliberately “stepping out of line”. This is made possible by the key element of the shelter: the organically shaped roof, which appears delicate yet makes a bold statement thanks to its tapered edge. Because it does not follow a fixed grid, the anisotropic roof line permits a variety of forms and a free ground plan. Both the periphery and the central, thicker roof areas can be implemented with a green roof. The bottom of the roof structure benefits from sheet cladding lacquered in a desired colour. Inside, gracefully housed LED downlights ensure standards-compliant and energy-efficient illumination. An intelligent control system for the lighting is also available.
