B-Stop is a modern take on mass transit stations aims to provide a pleasant waiting space to with the convenience of modern tech. A translucent waypoint screen system provides vital information to passengers, such as bus arrival/departure timing, directions, weather, time, and other stats. In contrast to this ultramodern feature, natural stone, marble and onyx make it an architectural compliment to the surrounding outdoor environment.

The main idea of B-Stop is the representation of the contrast between nature and social built environment. Combining natural stones (marble and onyx) with modern technologies like LED info screen represent this idea. Material selection was also a crucial part in the design process.
