?This 21st century office building in the heart of Zurich interplays with the area?s streetscape and adds to its vibrancy by encouraging bicycle use and improving pedestrians? connection to the Stadelhofen Station,? said Calatrava.

Commissioned by Swiss insurer AXA, the new building is envisioned as part of an initiative to expand transit-oriented design in the Swiss city and increase connectivity throughout the metro area. Nearly 80,000 commuters travel through Stadelhofen Station each day, many of whom are cyclists. This has caused the plaza space in front of the station to become overcrowded with bicycles. Calatrava?s design will directly address this problem by including approximately 1,000 underground parking spaces specifically for bikes.
