Slide to the Train Station with the Transfer Accelerator by HIK Ontwerpers

HIK Ontwerpers capitalized on the opportunity to provide a unique and playful experience for commuters in their hometown of Utrecht. Part of a complete renovation of the Overvecht railway station the transfer accelerator, the official name given to the slide by ProRail the railway maintenance company, provides a fun and unforgettable way of getting to where you are going. The slide was installed as the final piece of the station renovation and opened earlier this month.
A video and additional photographs of the transfer accelerator following the break.














































nice…:)… but where is the notice; “the risk is your own and bla-bla-bla…”:)))

This article linked to a spoof video with “joke” subtitles that doesn’t match what is being said. Arch Daily consistently does a poor job checking their content. At RegenerativeHomes we are no longer linking to Arch Daily articles.

Subway stations need slides. If there was one as long as the escalators in Vienna, that would be awesome. http://t.co/9EDA5cI via @archdaily
