The main and integral part of this design are two boxing tram and bus stops. Thanks to its form and whole volume allows to reconstruct the historical section of urban street and a reference to its pre-war volume of the place. It also optically narrows the breadth of Casimir the Great Street, which is a ring road in the centre of the city.

This will give the gentle and ethereal effect of the boxes, which will fill urban tissue and give new quality of urban space in the centre of Wroclaw.

An additional atraction will be illumination effects on the sheds over the tram stops, for example during the cultural events.
