This latest collaboration in Stevenage with Parkway Construction MK is a perfect example of great problem-solving design, combining functionality, sustainability, and a clean, modern aesthetic to meet the needs of Centric Business Park, a growing urban development.
The Project
Set in a prime location along Gunnels Wood Road, this project called for carefully considered bike storage solutions to help future-proof the site and support the community’s shift toward greener, more active lifestyles.
We were asked to design and install a range of bespoke bin, plant, and cycle stores. Each one needed to be practical, robust, and suit the overall look and feel of the development without compromising sustainability.
What We Delivered
Working closely with the client, we delivered a complete package of custom-built BREEAM-compliant storage units manufactured in Britain. Every unit was bespoke and built with longevity in mind, using hot-dipped galvanised steel and powder-coated to BS EN ISO 1461:2022 finishes to ensure it withstands the UK elements.
Bespoke Habitat Panel Storage
Fully open-fronted for ease of access and natural surveillance
Clad in perforated mesh steel panels with matching fascia surrounds for a consistent, architectural finish
Fitted with Sheffield Cycle Stands, including accessible options
Sedum green roofing and integrated habitat panels for sustainability
Integrated Bin & Plant Stores
Double-gated entry for easy refuse access
Integrated within cycle store designs for a cohesive look
Perforated mesh cladding allows for ventilation and natural light
Sedum Roof & Habitat Panel Integration
A key sustainability feature is our signature sedum roofs and habitat panels, which offer aesthetic value, promote biodiversity, manage rainwater runoff, and help lower ambient temperatures. The sedum system includes a three-part drainage layer, riverstone border, and integrated rainwater pipework.
Sustainability & Design
Every shelter and store uses British steel built to meet BREEAM standards, supporting developers in achieving sustainability credits. Sedum roofs and habitat panels promote green infrastructure and passive insulation.
Execution & Delivery
We managed everything from design refinement to final install. Working closely with Parkway MK ensured smooth execution with minimal disruption.
