The Bike Storage Company's collaboration in Stevenage with Parkway Construction MK is a great example of problem-solving design. It combines functionality, sustainability, and a clean, modern aesthetic to meet the needs of Centric Business Park, a growing urban development.

The Project

Set on Gunnels Wood Road, the project called for carefully considered bike storage solutions to help future-proof the site and support the community’s shift toward greener, more active lifestyles.

The Bike Storage Company were asked to design and install a range of bespoke bin, plant, and cycle stores. Each one needed to be practical, robust, and suit the overall look and feel of the development without compromising sustainability.

What Was Delivered

Working closely with the client, The Bike Storage Company delivered a complete package of custom-built BREEAM-compliant storage units manufactured in Britain. Every unit was bespoke and built with longevity in mind, using hot-dipped galvanised steel and powder-coated to BS EN ISO 1461:2022 finishes to ensure it withstands the UK elements.

Bespoke Habitat Panel Storage

  • Fully open-fronted for ease of access and natural surveillance

  • Clad in perforated mesh steel panels with matching fascia surrounds for a consistent, architectural finish

  • Fitted with Sheffield Cycle Stands, including accessible options

  • Sedum green roofing and integrated habitat panels for sustainability

Integrated Bin & Plant Stores

  • Double-gated entry for easy refuse access

  • Integrated within cycle store designs for a cohesive look

  • Perforated mesh cladding allows for ventilation and natural light

Sedum Roof & Habitat Panel Integration

A key sustainability feature is the signature sedum roofs and habitat panels, which provide aesthetic value, promote biodiversity, manage rainwater runoff, and help lower ambient temperatures. The sedum system includes a three-part drainage layer, riverstone border, and integrated rainwater pipework.

Sustainability and Design

Every shelter and store from The Bike Storage Company uses British steel built to meet BREEAM standards, supporting developers in achieving sustainability credits. Sedum roofs and habitat panels promote green infrastructure and passive insulation.
