It might be one of the funkiest bike shops weve ever seen.
And who doesnt want to order a beer while their bike is getting serviced?
Thats just the icing on the cake.
Factory 5selected an old, double-height industrial warehouse to serve as its next home.
It provided enough space to feature a second story mezzanine for a private office that overlooked the store below.
In short, its got everything but a velodrome.
Linehouse Architecture designed this space to speak to the identity of the urban cyclist.
There are bike parts placed throughout the stores design.
The chandeliers are made of reclaimed wheel sections.
A bike frame is encased in concrete below the service area table.
Its the mood of the space that has us wanting to visit.
The bike-part pendant lamps and hanging tungsten shop lights add character along with the bright ambient window light.
Its a gritty-yet-polished space that just feels right to a city cyclist.
And who doesnt want to order a beer while their bike is getting serviced?
Thats just the icing on the cake.
