Ryterna modul Architectural Challenge 2022: Cycling Tourism Complex

Cycling in general is now gaining speed, in some countries, it’s not only a leisure transport but a way of life (think of The Netherlands and Denmark). But extending our of these two countries, we see that cycling is in general increasing, it is no longer only a “ride to the city”, but even more, ride to a different country, or ride across my own country. Technology allows us to travel quicker, faster, and in relative comfort compared to bikes that were used 20-30 years ago.

So this year we decided to focus on cyclists. and derived with the task:

To create a complex for cyclist travelers for a short stopover or even an overnight stay. The complex should have a bicycle repair area, a cafe or fast-food restaurant, accommodation (hostel and private type), and sanitary facilities for both passing cyclists and those staying overnight in hostel rooms.
