An entry by British architecture graduates Anthony Lau and Jessica Lee has been selected as a joint winner of New York’s City Racks international design competition to create a bike park, alongside that of US practice RSVP Studio.
Their bike rack, joint winner of the indoor category, will now be installed at Google’s New York HQ.
The contest attracted more than 700 entries to design indoor bicycle parking as part of the city’s sustainability strategy.
Lau and Lee, who studied at the Bartlett, will each receive $5,000 (£3,300), while Copenhagen-based duo Ian Mahaffy and Maarten De Greeve, who won the outdoor category, will each receive $10,000 (£6,635).
Mahaffy and De Greeve’s design, which beat more than 1,000 outdoor entries, was tested on New York’s Astor Place, where all shortlisted outdoor designs were installed in September.
New York’s transportation department said it intends to use the winning designs as standard, and will roll them out across the whole city.
