Inspired by the 2 animals: Cat and Octopus, Catopus owns a cute and friendly look that attracts children, therefore promotes its functionality and encourages children practice road safety. Catopus has 4 legs for 4 “stairs” that go in 4 directions at the intersection. There will be chairs and matts inside its body so children can play inside. Catopus’s shell is made from purple tinted glass to tone down the sun.
Catopus is environmentally friendly, economical, inclusive and
multifunctional. Aside from being an overhead footbridge, it’s also a safe playground for children while waiting for their parents to come pick them up. Unlike the regular overhead footbridge that uses walking stairs, Catopus uses escalators,
climbers and slide to create a fun and inclusive version of such boring task as going up and down. The escalators are designed to be wheel chair friendly. To save energy and prevent accidents, the escalators only runs when the red button on the side is pushed.
The exportation changed the colors.
