Atelier d’Arquitectura Lopes da Costa was commissioned to design a new transport infrastructure in Fiães, a Portuguese parish in the municipality of Santa Maria da Feira in Portugal. The project will be located in an environment limited by two parishes, located perpendicular to the access road to the plot.
For the project that includes a bus station and a parking lot, the different circulations of buses and cars have been thought of so that there is no type of crossing or possible conflict between them. This is achieved with a clear separation between access to the parking lot by the east of the bus access from the west.

The Interface de Transportes Lourosa designed by the architecture studio Atelier d’Arquitectura Lopes da Costa is about the construction of a building with a rectangular floor plan built using a metal structure that provides dynamism to the volumetric of the building thanks to the roof it supports.
The roof is designed to generate a great contrast with the rectangular volume of the building, which has been made with an envelope of parallelepipeds of cement mosaics that animate the facades. The project also has a cafeteria, which has a terrace facing south and west, serving not only the station but also the passing public and the industries located in its surroundings, enhancing and making the most of this facility.

Project description by Atelier d’Arquitectura Lopes da Costa
The Interface for Transportes Lourosa – Fiães is a transport interface, located on a plot of land with around 11,500 sqm on the border between these two parishes, comprises a vast parking and manoeuvring area and a support building of around 500 sqm, which was chosen to be located perpendicular to the road that gives it access. This location allows a better integration into the existing topography, and also clearly separates the access to the car park at the east from the bus access at the west, so there are no crossroads or possible conflicts between cars and bus traffic.
The building with a rectangular plan and built-in metal structure, has a dynamic volumetry and is covered with a skin that makes the transition from the user/pedestrian scale to the bus bay scale, to the west. This metal sheet roof contrasts with some parallelepiped volumes covered in cement mosaics that enliven the façades.

At the front of the building, closer to the street, is the cafeteria, with a terrace facing south and west. Due to its location, this space will not only serve the Interface but will also be used by the passing public and the industries located nearby, thus enhancing and making the most of this facility.
Users access the building from the east, from the car park to an area where the extended roof shelters and marks the entrance. The building is very transparent both to the east and west, allowing the bus dock to be seen at all times.
The building rests on a pedestrianised and paved area animated by the inclusion of garden spaces, with a design referring to the building shape, and bicycle parking zones.

The car park, located to the east, is divided into two areas, one closer to the entrance for short-term stops, dropping off passengers and passenger transport vehicles, and a second area, further north, which is mainly for longer-term parking.
Bus access to the Interface is to the west, in an area duly dimensioned for the purpose, allowing easy circulation and manoeuvring for parking.
