Mizzi Studio, an architecture firm with bases in London and Malta, has achieved a significant milestone by reaching the finalist stages of the New European Bauhaus Prizes 2024 with their groundbreaking ‘Malta Bus Reborn’ project.
In 2019, Mizzi Studio captured the imagination of both locals and international audiences by proposing an innovative yet respectful revamp of Malta’s traditional buses. Their design introduces a new electric fleet that retains the charm and iconic features of the classic Maltese bus while incorporating modern, eco-friendly technologies.
The traditional Maltese bus, with its vibrant colours and unique designs, has long stood as a cultural emblem of Malta. Recognising the importance of preserving this heritage while embracing sustainability, Mizzi Studio skilfully integrated classic design elements such as chrome grills and round hooded headlights with modern electric chassis.
This thoughtful fusion not only honours Malta’s rich history but also aligns with contemporary environmental concerns, offering a sustainable mode of transportation that reduces carbon emissions without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.
The New European Bauhaus initiative champions the creation of a sustainable and inclusive future that delights our senses and nurtures our well-being. Mizzi Studio’s ‘Malta Bus Reborn’ project embodies this vision by blending beauty, sustainability, and inclusivity, showcasing how innovative design can preserve cultural heritage while addressing the urgent need for environmental stewardship.
