Swanke Hayden Connell Architects approached us to assist them in planning 200 bike parking spaces into a basement area within the new KPMG Head office at Canary Wharf, London. The current area had accommodate 200 bikes spaces but also full change facilities, a drying room, lockers, showers and toilets. Further to this the client wanted to achieve BREEAM out-standing!

The original CAD drawing by Swanke Hayden Connell only contained 120 cycle parking spaces using traditional bike stands. This original layout would not have earned the project the necessary credits to achieve the required BREEAM rating.

Once we received the plans from Swanke Hayden Connell Architects, we began planning the area with Spacepods. We choose Spacepods as they can save up to 50% of the space required by traditional bike stands and are a cyclist friendly, easy to use, semi-vertical system.

The final plan we generated for Swanke Hayden Connell Architects contained the 200 bikes spaces they required and in less space then the original layout using traditional bike stands. Due to this the rest of the basement area could be planned containing all the requirements for the project to achieve a BREEAM outstanding rating!

Leyton Cycle Hub

The Leyton Super Hub was built as part of the Mini-Holland project under the London Borough of Waltham Forest Council. Waltham Forest were given £27million of funding by Transport for London to invest in making their streets more accessible and safe for all users.

Jaguar Land Rover

At Jaguar Land Rover, the existing employee bike storage was outdated, oversubscribed and becoming a hassle to maintain. Only 70 bike spaces were available using wide metal stands which meant that at least 2 locks would be required to lock both the frame and on wheel of the bike. Due to the high number of employees that cycled to work at the factory, the number of spaces needed to improve drastically to accommodate everyone. Cyclepods visited site and drew up a new plan for storage using our Easylift+ two-tier system and double height Brighton shelters to make the most of the space available.
