Rider Rest Station

A modular rest station offers riders a place to pause, recharge, dock and store belongings within the city.

Focus: Rest and recovery
Approach: Modular nodes, hubs and clusters
Program: Rest, recharge, dock and store

Rider Rest Station proposes small places for rest within the routines of urban riding. Four modules address rest, recharging, docking and storage, supporting different lengths of pause within a compact timber structure.

The modules combine as a node, hub or cluster so the system can respond to different urban situations. A sheltered counter, bicycle parking, storage and a quiet recovery space bring practical services and moments of rest together.
