Twin Peaks is a 2-bay bus shelter
consisting of 200 wood and steel framing studs. The standardized building
material is assembled into panels that lean on each other to form both a wall
and roof system. The project plans for a portion of the wood to be re-purposed
from an adjacent construction site and other construction sites throughout
greater Hyattsville, Maryland .
The 14’ tall structure will 1) protect riders from the
elements while waiting for a bus; 2) provide a complete visual connection to
approaching WMATA buses and other riders; 3) capture and amplify the process of arrival and
departure for riders and passersby via the use of a novel building material
assembly and bus shelter form; and 4) act as a memorable reference point along
the Rhode Island Ave. corridor for decades to come .....”My house is one block
from the Twin Peaks…”
In addition to establishing a new place-making
landmark in the Gateway Arts District, the shelter will contain 2 benches for seating of up
to 8 people. Solar-powered L.E.D. lighting will be located throughout the
structure.
