Bicycle parking facilities Tilburg station

energy efficient 

The bicycle parking facilities are energy efficient. On the one hand by design, on the other by energy-saving measures.

The glass design of both buildings is inviting, provides a lot of natural light and ventilates naturally through the shingled glass panels. As a result, less energy-consuming installations are required.

The energy-saving LED lighting is used effectively and efficiently. The light is only on when users are present. At night the parking is partially illuminated with dimmed lights, which contributes to a safe environment.

fitted into the environment 

The buildings have been carefully integrated into their surroundings. The height of the parking spaces is in line with the buildings already present under the station's iconic 'kroepoekdak' (crockery roof).

The roofs of the facilities are covered with sedum providing natural cooling in summer and heat retention in winter. It is also good for biodiversity in Tilburg's railway zone, as it is attractive to bees and butterflies. The sedum roof also ensures delayed water drainage, which contributes to the water management of the area.

The façade construction consists of black steel profiles with integrated drainpipes. Cantilevered glass panels provide natural ventilation. The underside of the façade is made of concrete. Which fits with the original design and at the same time serves as collision protection.
