Modular System for Bike Parking in Vienna
The City of Vienna initiated a challenge as part of a market exploration to identify innovative solutions that enable high-quality, space-efficient, safe, and simple bike parking in urban areas. We are among the five winners. Key criteria for the jury included city-compatible space utilization and design, quality and safety of the facility, user-friendliness, functional modularity, accessibility, and scalability. With our design, we convinced the jury by demonstrating how a comprehensive solution can range from a simple bike hangar to a fully automated bike tower. The product design will become a corporate architecture for the entire city. In addition to design, economic feasibility and a simple booking system also play a significant role.
Bike Tower
In 2013 we designed the first fully automated bicycle parking garage for the city of Offenburg. It enables fully automatic, theft- and weather-protected parking of up to 120 bicycles. Up to 12 bikes can be parked on both sides simultaneously. In 2024, the bicycle parking garage was adapted to changing needs and subjected to a redesign.
Identity-Defining Elements for Cycle Superhighways
The Metropolregion Hamburg in planning a network of cycle superhighways, that will enable users to reach their destinations comfortably, safely, quickly and without disruption over the shortest possible routes. The cycling infrastructure was already part of the planning process at an early stage. Identity-establishing elements such as steles, shelters, bike service stations and handhold elements will increase comfort and recognition factor, enhance acceptance and contribute to easy orientation. A memorable bevel shapes the appearance of all the elements and gives the cycle superhighways their own DNA.
Styleguide for the Mobility Stations of Wolfsburg
In order to support the visibility, the attractiveness, the quality of stay and the recognition value of the planned mobility stations of Wolfsburg in the street and cityscape, a corporate design was developed for the mobility stations. The stations receive their own logo, consisting of a picture and a wordmark. To make it clear that the separate infrastructure elements belong to the station, the picture mark and/or a graphical structure developed from the picture mark is applied to the individual components. The specially developed stele is an important part of each station, points out the station, increases the recognition value and provides information. A detailed styleguide describes the use of the individual elements and defines, among other things, colors, floor conditions, floor markings and the use of light.
Mobile Urban Gardens Osnabrück
To improve the quality of stay in public spaces and the microclimate, the mobile urban gardens were developed for the city of Osnabrück. The modular system consists of various seating options and plantable modules, that can be configurated as needed. This creates resting areas and meeting places for the neighbourhood, that are tailored to the location. The urban gardens are used on parking lots for a fixed period of time, before they are permanently unsealed and the modules are relocated. Thanks to their clear and timeless design, they fit perfectly into the cityscape of Osnabrück.
Mobility Stations Düsseldorf
The CMD Düsseldorf is working to promote the transport turnaround in Düsseldorf. Over the next few years, 100 mobility stations are to be built in Düsseldorf. We have designed the modules, developed a modular module catalog and are providing support in the planning of the stations and the development of new innovative mobility offers. Green roofs, solar panels and climate-friendly building materials make the stations particularly environmentally friendly. Topics such as the quality of stay, accessibility and redesign in terms of traffic safety also have a high priority.
Equipment Elements for Picnic Sites in the Münsterland
To strengthen tourism and the identity of the castle and palace region of Münsterland and to contribute to successful regional development, picnic sites for citizens and visitors are being set up in the Münsterland. With barrier-free equipment elements from a modular system, every picnic site can be equipped according to its nature and special requirements. Inviting places are created that make the picnic an experience for everybody. The chosen design language with its distinctive slanted profiles, reflects the core values of the Münsterland: energetic, ambitious and judicious. The closeness to nature is expressed in the choice of warm wood.
Mobility Pillar Baden-Württemberg
In order to increase the visibility of sustainable mobility offers and, in particular, to promote walking and cycling, a mobility pillar was developed for Baden-Württemberg, that is clearly visible but does not disturb the cityscape. It offers the same information as an existing, larger pillar. A site plan and directions on a floor plate facilitate a quick orientation. Further information is provided via pictograms, text, images and QR codes. Depending on the location, a bicycle repairing kit is integrated. The lightning is powered by a solar module. In addition to design and functional aspects, special attention was paid to accessibility.
Mobility Stations Osnabrück
The mobility stations, that have been developed for the city of Osnabrück, can be put together in a modular principle from various elements: From a stele, through to partition walls, shelters, buildings or large bicycle parking facilities. The modules have been designed as striking, cubic, reduced structures. They are functional and represent a clear landmark. Different colors are assigned to the separate offers such as charging stations, bike rentals or parking facilities, what makes recognition easy for users.
Styleguide for Urban Furniture and Infrastructure
Following the closure of Berlin-Tegel Airport, a research and industrial park for urban technologies is being built on part of the premises – the URBAN TECH REPUBLIC. Based on the existing logo, we designed a structure that will be used graphically and product-wise on a wide variety of elements in public spaces, and set guidelines for the use of materials, colors and shapes. This creates a visual cohesion of the premises. The specific characteristics of the new research an industrial park are reflected in the public space. We documented the results in a comprehensive style guide.
Mobility Stations Kiel
The concept of mobility for the city of Kiel and the region was developed by us during a period of 2 years and has been accompanied by us through all service phases. The modular system is barrier-free accessible and allows to configurate appropriate stations at each location and to meet their specific needs in fittings and size. The first mobility station in the Kiel region, in the small town of Hamdorf, shows that a multimodal link of different mobility products is useful and necessary, even in rural areas. The timeless and functional design enables a good integration into the urban and spatial context.
