Bike Parking
The thoughtfully designed space is a response to the changing infrastructures and habits of mobility that result in an increasing demand for bicycle infrastructure, specifically in the German capital. As part of the revitalisation of Potsdamer Platz, the bike parking not only offers a practical function, but also integrates seamlessly into the surrounding entertainment, commercial and office space.
Inspired by the cross-section of a bicycle tyre, the design reflects the geometry of the space and invites you to immerse yourself in another world.
With the bicycle parking, the Center owners Oxford Properties Group & Norges Bank Investment Management are responding to the trend of more and more people choosing to cycle to work.
The design challenges were as manifold as the future vehicle fleet: the bike car park is completely underground and therefore had to be intuitive to use, robust and inviting at the same time. Kinzo have created a place where users feel safe and comfortable. Inspired by the cross-section of a bicycle tyre, the design reflects the geometry of the space and invites you to immerse yourself in another world.
