Gottlieb Paludan Architects has, in collaboration with Rambøll, completed an innovation project for Metroselskabet with solutions for innovative bicycle parking at future metro stations with a focus on customer satisfaction and social, environmental and economic sustainability.

The solutions create optimised bicycle parking conditions for future locations for underground and elevated metro stations, improving conditions for both cyclists and other metro users. The concepts are compiled in a report that highlights both the parking concepts and their potential to improve the integration between metro and city and to facilitate the shift between different modes of transport.

The solutions focus on optimising access and flow with safe and clear spatial flows that naturally connect city and station and optimise the level of service with good parking conditions and new adjacent services. The report also highlights how the solutions can help create better urban spaces by freeing up space at street level for other purposes and activities.

The design takes into account that future bicycle parking solutions should both support the Metro's current architectural identity and be flexible enough to accommodate future programme requirements and local adaptations to urban spaces and station typologies. With their holistic focus on social, environmental and economic sustainability, the solutions support Metroselskabet's approach to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The assignment was carried out for Metroselskabet in collaboration with Ramboll.
