Swiss Bike Park
The Swiss Bike Park should be a meeting place. "It's a social project where people come together," explains Thomas Binggeli. The fact that the clubhouse, as he calls the building, really can bring people together can be seen from the barrier-free infrastructure. It offers features that enable hearing and visually impaired people to find their way around on their own. The clubhouse is also wheelchair-accessible, thanks in part to Gilgen's automated double doors at the disabled toilets.
It was decided that the Swissness of the new building should begin at the door: In recent months, Gilgen has installed five large external doors, two internal fire doors and several automated swing door drives and sliding fire protection panels in the Swiss Bike Park.
However, Gilgen not only had a hand in the entrances and passageways, but also in a special show bike stand. This stands in front of the clubhouse and showcases the high-quality and expensive bikes. To prevent the Thömus crew from having to carry bikes in and out of the show stand every day to protect them from theft overnight, Gilgen installed roller grilles around it. This means that employees can conveniently close the automated roller grilles before closing time and open them again the next morning with just as little effort. It is a perfectly fitting door system.
