This design builds on cycling culture, providing a new vision for Sydney’s infrastructure. The aim would be to provide cycling ‘hubs’ in key locations throughout the city, linking together a network of cycleways. Hub locations have been selected using data collected from the activity app Strava with the largest hub being Circular Quay. Given this high-density location, the hub is integrated within three new skyscrapers. A dramatic cycling ramp wraps around the buildings, allowing cyclists to access multi-storey facilities – bike shops, storage, change rooms and more - up to the sixth floor, where they are met with spectacular views across the harbour. Beyond this height, the ramp evolves into an elegant shading and daylight reflecting system, protecting interior spaces from the high summer sun, but reflecting light deep into office floors.
