Watchmoor Point is a well-established industrial estate in the heart of Surrey. Epiphany undertook a full warehouse and office refurbishment of the site. As a modern warehouse refurbishment in Camberley, targeting a Net Zero Carbon accreditation, Epiphany contacted the Bike Storage Company to provide a cycle storage solution for the site, to intentionally promote active travel.
We partnered together to develop a bespoke Amazon Eco Cycle Enclosure that would house over 20 cycles, including provision for E-Bike charging and accessible cycle parking.
Clad in beautiful, Sapele FSC® certified timber, the shelter provided both cycle parking and sustainability. The racks used in the shelter were our popular Semi-Vertical cycle racks, which makes the most of limited floor space by utilising height. This solution allowed the footprint of the enclosure to be reduced whilst maintaining storage efficiency.
Another route to increasing the Net Zero accreditation of the site was to include a Sedum roof on the shelter itself. Sedum green roofing involves using low-growing, succulent plants from the Sedum genus on rooftops. Benefits include reducing the Urban Heat Island Effect, biodiversity support and aesthetic enhancement.
To ensure security as well as aesthetics, the enclosure’s single leaf timber clad gate is secured with a Gatemaster mechanical code lock ensuring that cycles are safe and secure for the duration of their stay. Integrated internal PIR lighting ensures that the cycle storage is accessible but only lit when needed. Finally, to help identify the cycle storage to employees and site visitors, a laser cut vinyl motif of a bicycle was added to the exterior wall of the enclosure.
Overall, the result was a beautiful, bespoke cycle enclosure that met the needs of the refurbished industrial units it served.
