General Details
• Material:
100% recycled aluminium structure. (Post industrial scrap) 75% less power required to produce than virgin aluminium.
High grade alloy - 6061-T6 (Aircraft grade) Good corosion resistance and excellent strength.
All our aluminium is 100% recyclable.
All our aluminum is extruded in New Zealand and all our aluminium sheet is locally sourced.
Sustainably sourced Saligna hardwood. Plantation grown in New Zealand but is a non-native. (No deforestation)
Glass in easily obtainable sizes!
• Design Intent:
We sought to design a modular shelter system rather than a set of rigid designs - this gives AT the ability to adapt the form to suit
Auckland’s changing needs. By establishing a strong visual theme we believe the form could be significantly changed while still being
recognisable as part of the AT network family.
The design is loosely based on the ‘Kiwi Bach’ - including an outdoor area for hot summer days, slatted timber panels and long sloping
roof. We believe we have created an aesthetic that is unlike most generic glass box shelters and creates a unique Auckland identity.
• Green:
We take environmental reposibility seriously and this reflects in the design.
Apart from having the greenest structural credentials we have also developed a solar LED lighting system for these shelters.
The shelter is split into three separate lighting circuits as a redundancy. Initial lighting is automatically switched on at dusk and infrared
sensors increase the lighting level when occupied.
The adbox is also solar powered and is controlled in a similar way to the lights.
• Construction:
The most innovative feature of these shelters is the extrusion and connection system. We have developed a connector system that has
many advantages over a welded structure.
The connection is extremely strong - with a pull force of several tons and has engineering certification for windspeeds up to 254Km/h
The connection of each joint can be removed - this allows damaged parts to be exchanged as well as providing an opportunity to
expand an existing shelter. (Permanently or temporarily.)
This adaptability can significantly reduce the cost of ownership over the life cycle of a shelter.
We have also focused on a bolt down structure. This allows removal and relocation of the shelter - something not possible with a
concreted structure. The shelter has articulated feet that can adapt to any slope on a pad.
All our glass is fully captive - It is held on all sides by a seal that cannot be picked out by vandals. It offers the most weather protection
while still being easy to exchange. A range of glass thickness can be accommodated.

Designbrand has presented a modular shelter construction system,
not a standard shelter design - this is just one configuration with
the system - This gives AT the ability to keep adapting and evolving
as needs change and Auckland grows
2
• CNC Pattern in portal cover
• Swapping for sheet metal mid trial
• Can be a customised pattern
3
• Saligna slat wall allows airflow in
summer but protects from rain in
winter. Also creates open feel and
doesn’t obstruct the view
• Propose to try angling these like a
louvre wall to discourage climbing
4
• Outdoor zone has a solid roofing section to test
comfort level in summer.
• Shelter designed to protect passengers in all
seasons
5
• Glass approach panel keeps
buses and passengers visible
6
• Trial portal is concreted in place, we
propose to redesign this to reduce
footing size and make the portal
removable.
7
• Custom bench design
8
• Fully articulated feet - can
adjust to any slope in the pad
• Designed as a response to AT
comments at briefing meeting.

• Solar Panels flush mounted - invisible
from the footpath

• Infrared sensors increase lighting
level when shelter occupied
• Sensors double as removal points for
post swapout
12
• Extrusion acts as conduit
for lighting wiring
10
• Battery boxes built into structure
• proposed position for Real Time

• Proposing a custom AT
extrusion profile that allows
even more adaptability.

• Prototype glass is 8mm - proposing
10mm glass for production
• Fully captive on all edges
• Vandal resistant (un-pickable) extruded
seal
18
• Extrusion system allows easy
mounting and retrofitting of
accessories. To display this
feature we will be replacing
this seat with a leaner seat
mid trial
• Front wall for weather
protection
• Dual entrance prevents
entrapment

• Gutter at rear diverts
water away from
