The Shelter Project is a new bus stop for the Wells Goodfellow neighborhood of St. Louis designed in collaboration with local
non-profit community building organizations, including the Wellston Loop CDC and the Saint Louis Story Stitchers, and Metro St. Louis.
The shelter design combines the necessary shade and seating elements of a bus stop with a cell-phone charging station, community bulletin board, and pantry to distribute common household goods to those in need. The roof design includes a water collection system to capture rainwater for the adjacent garden and a solar panel to power the charging station and lights.
