Positioned between architecture, product design, and clean technology, The Seventy Frame combines bicycle security, shelter, and environmental infrastructure within a single distinctive structural form inspired by the geometry of the number seven. The system has been conceived not simply as street furniture, but as scalable urban infrastructure capable of supporting evolving patterns of low-carbon mobility, e-bike adoption, and smart public realm investment. Developed through full-scale prototyping and fabrication-led design research, the project has been engineered as a modular platform adaptable to a wide range of commercial, public sector, residential, education, healthcare, transport, and domestic applications. Ongoing refinement of the system includes the development of configurations with increased front head clearance to improve accessibility, user comfort, and compatibility with contemporary public realm and cycle infrastructure standards, while retaining the project’s distinctive architectural identity.
Interchangeable roof systems can incorporate photovoltaic panels, sedum roofs, or alternative sustainable materials depending on environmental and operational requirements, while future integrated systems include e-bike charging, lighting, monitoring technology, and maintenance facilities.
The Seventy Frame has been developed with manufacturability, scalability, and long-term durability at its core. Its clear structural logic and modular component system support efficient fabrication, transportation, installation, and future product evolution, enabling opportunities for manufacturing partnerships, infrastructure deployment, and wider integration within emerging smart-city and active-travel networks. All products are also being developed as fully BIM - compatible systems to support specification, design integration, and adoption by architects, landscape architects, developers, and infrastructure professionals.
As governments, developers, universities, transport providers, and private organisations increasingly invest in active travel and sustainable infrastructure, The Seventy Frame aims to establish a recognisable new benchmark for premium cycling infrastructure — combining functional performance with strong architectural identity.
