Hi.
Sorry I've been a stranger on this list as of late.
But Here at Recycle-a-Bike in Providence, RI, we're working on a design
of a new home for our program. I've teamed with an interior architecture grad
student and an architecture grad student at a local design school who are
awesome and excited about the project. We have a small plot of land set aside
for it, and we will be designing and building our new home from the ground
up.
So we are starting our research, and I'm putting the question out to the
list - Do folks have design examples of their shops to share? or insights as
to what works and what doesn't in the usage of your shops? Any other thoughts
about design / construction?
I've taken a look at
Austin
Yellow Bike's new space on their website and the "
shop
organization" page on the Bike Collective Wiki, both of which were
helpful, but what would be useful for us at this point is more thinking on the
whole building scale. If people have info to contribute, I'd suggest putting
it on said
shop
organization page on the Bike Collective Wiki so that it's there for
everyone to refer to.
I'll be posting progress on our blog as we go (nothing up there
yet).
