East Bay Bike Station

Association: Roger Williams University
Project: Conceptual Studio Project
Professor: Patrick Charles
Semester: Sp. 19

The East Bay Bike Station was designed to be the hub of the East Bay Bike Path. There, people will be able to store their belongings in the locker rooms, purchase food & supplies from one of the shops, and use the community room as a public work space. The building sits on a long & narrow site, across the street from India Point Park and hugs the i-195 overpass. Due to the narrow site, I designed the building to have staggered floors connected by ramp-ways that form the core of the building. This would also allow people to easily transport their bikes through the building.

The brightly colored spaces make it easy to differentiate the levels from inside or outside the building. With floors towering 30 feet over i-195, the Bike Station would be the gate into Providence from the East Bay Bike Path.
