PROBLEM

• The client lacked suitable outdoor storage for garden furniture, tools, and cycling equipment.
• Their daily-use bike with a child seat had no sheltered space and was exposed to the weather.
• With a keen eye for design, the client found neither off-the-shelf solutions nor available bespoke alternatives met their aesthetic or functional expectations.

SOLUTION

Atlanticbike designed and installed a bespoke dual-purpose storage unit that:

• Features a bike shelter with a tailored green roof, carefully shaped to accommodate a child seat and fit within a uniquely constrained corner of the garden.
• Includes a vertical garden shed deep enough to house bulky items like outdoor furniture, tools, and cycling gear.
• Restores green space with a low-maintenance, all-year-round extensive green roof.
• Incorporates a concealed high-security Phantom locking system to protect the contents.
• Delivers an elegant, timeless aesthetic using a powder-coated anthracite steel frame paired with western red cedar cladding.

APPROACH

• Custom Design: Engineered a made-to-measure shelter with integrated ground anchors and multiple bike hooks, designed to maximise function in limited space.
• Material Selection: Constructed with a durable steel frame and premium hardwood cladding, selected to weather naturally and complement the refined garden palette.
• Green Roof Installation: Installed an extensive green roof to promote biodiversity and soften the structure’s appearance in the garden setting.
• Security Features: Integrated Atlanticbike’s signature Phantom lock system, offering robust security while remaining visually discreet.
• Access Design: Designed the unit with dual doors on the garden shed for easy storage of larger items, while keeping the bike area open for quick, daily use.
