This bicycle hotel is configured in the freight house at the station, which opened in 1868. It was important in the design to build with a high conservation value and preservation through new uses, without making major changes. To preserve as much as possible of the existing has been important in shaping the concept of the hotel. The area to the east gable wall has been rebuilt to mark a change of use.
The hotel offers parking for 134 bicycles, of which two can be used by bicycles with trailers. There are also four charging points for electric bikes and a floor-mounted air pump for filling the tires. Through an app on your mobile phone, the hotel unlocks easily in and out.
The design is inspired by local history and the imagery of a forest on a sunny summer day, where light penetrates between the branches. The Gulskogen bicycle hotel continues the design in Drammen Station and the bicycle hotel there. The perforated metal panels with patterns are inspired by the local beech forest, becoming a feature and a recurring element that helps to create a coherent expression of stations in the Drammen Municipality.
