One of the largest bicycle parking garages in all of the Netherlands had just been constructed in he Hague. Built directly beneath the koningin julianaplein directly in front of the city’s main railway station, the project has been designed to appear as a museum-esque setting the intelligent directional markings, white ceilings, back-lit glass walls and specious aisles. This garage has space for approximately 8,000 bicycles and rental bikes within a secure environment.
Designed and completed by Silo, a design studio, the project intends to serve as an essential link into the Hague’s urban mobility network. The interesting and intricate patterns are not only aesthetically impressive but are also intended to make it easier to find your bike.
One of the key features of the design is the wall of light that surrounded the parking facility. The history of the architecture of the hague is displayed in this wall and forms one continuous image that cyclists can experience as they ride past the wall. The garage will be integrated with the above developments including residential spaces, commercials offices and a public square to bring everything together.
