I want a ticket

Seeking to reinvent the bus station experience, Quero Passagem, a company specializing in selling bus tickets, hired Superlimão to develop the architecture of the new VIP lounge at the Tietê Bus Terminal. The goal was to reflect Brazil's cultural diversity and richness, in addition to providing comfort and functionality to passengers. The project's main objective was to demonstrate that buses not only connect people to all parts of Brazil, but also transform the places they pass through, acting as an agent of integration between different regions of the country. Incorporating this vision, the design of the VIP lounge was inspired by “Brazilianness”, with elements that refer to natural riches: forests, skies and rivers, highlighted by the gardens, varied seating areas and dynamic elements, such as the ceiling lining. The bathrooms, covered with Superlimão tiles for Dalle Piagge Ladrilhos Hidráulicos in shades of yellow and blue, reflect the brand's colors and can be configured in different ways to create unique routes, evoking the sensation of travel and movement. One of the project's innovations was the change to the façade, which incorporates the design of the bus from the windows to the internal layout (such as the seats, aligned parallel to the façade), creating an atmosphere that recreates the experience of being on board. The mashrabiyas - openwork wooden partitions - were developed especially for the project. The chosen pattern was inspired by elements of Quero Passagem's visual identity, and serves to reinforce the brand, in addition to contributing to the privacy of the lounge's users. Prioritizing functionality and adaptability, the space was designed with flexible furniture to meet the various needs of passengers, whether for business meetings or family trips. Armchairs equipped with power outlets and laptop tables were strategically positioned next to a meeting room, ensuring comfort and privacy for travelers while waiting. In addition, the partitions between the seats can be removed to accommodate larger groups during vacations, offering greater visibility for parents with children. The acoustic linings, produced by Trisoft from recycled PET bottles, and combined with rubber flooring, ensure that passengers have a peaceful experience, without being disturbed by external noises. Finally, in reference to the bus's own seating, carpentry chairs were added to provide a more relaxing and laid-back resting position.
