Bermondsey Bike Store: Bike parking by Sarah Wigglesworth Architects

By Sebastian J — Filed under: News , Public Facilities , , ,
 

The London architecture firm Sarah Wigglesworth Architects have finished a bike store in Bermondsey, London. The structure can store 76 bikes in two levels, using a system designed by bicycle rack producers Josta.

The building is constructed from 13 portal frames, clad externally with triangular, stainless-steel panels and internally with translucent, glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) sheeting. The structure will provide secure shelter for residents and workers in the Bermondsey Square area.

Well I suppose the point is, and maybe I am wrong here, not to see the bikes.
