Gewobag Fahrrad and more

Light for the bicycle garage and adjoining office areas of Gewobag

Under the motto “Sustainable real estate development thinks sustainable mobility development!” WÜRSCHINGER Architects developed a new type of bicycle garage together with Gewobag and BICICLI. With an area of 320 square meters, it offers 170 secure parking spaces for bicycles including charging options for pedelecs as well as lockers and showers.

The pioneering bicycle mobility project received third place in the German Bicycle Prize 2020 of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) and the working group of pedestrian and bicycle-friendly cities, communities and districts in North Rhine-Westphalia e.V. (AGFS).

In cooperation with WÜRSCHINGER architects, a lighting concept was developed that plays with subtle associations with the topic of cycling mobility. The suspended power rails are based on the geometry of the room, but at the same time are reminiscent of wheel spokes. Equipped with LED light strips, they lead to an even brightness and structure the ceiling and room. The concentric arrangement of the light bands creates a restrained, “decelerated” pull effect.
