tob.studio's timber bike station in germany resembles stacked log pile
Reported byDesignboom ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The Burgsinn Cycling Rest Station, designed by ToB.Studio and built with locally sourced untreated larch cladding and a prefabricated timber frame, provides e-bike charging, repair facilities, accessible toilet and shower, and public seating along Germany's D9 cycle route, reinterpreting the form of stacked timber logs.
The building is designed according to Design for Disassembly principles for future recycling, though long-term durability of untreated wood in outdoor cycling conditions is not detailed.
