End of Trip Facilities, 345 George St Sydney

The story.

Hot and sweaty?

You're probably not alone. With 3.6 million+ people riding bikes across Australia* and State and territory Governments spending $3.7 million promoting bicycle use plus a further $93.8 million building infrastructure and facilities**, cycling is a rapidly growing and healthily encouraged phenomena. Building owners recognise this trend and are prepared to invest in providing facilities that will both refresh the rider and safely store the ride. Rork Projects recently completed this End of Trip facility at 345 George Street for property fund managers ISPT.

Scope

Adaptive reuse of part basement at 345 George Street, Sydney CBD for ISPT. Facilities include new showers, toilets, change areas, a concierge desk and bicycle maintenance and storage facilities.
Significant construction works comprised a new slab to accommodate drainage falls, extensive mechanical and hydraulic works and new suspended platform to securely store the bikes. 3.0 x 1.0m wall tiles reduce grout lines, Regupol laid to all trafficable areas reduces noise and USB chargers in all lockers provide a quick charge before you're off again!
