Choi Dugyeong
About
Growing up with parents who majored in art, Dugyeong was naturally exposed to various artistic environments from an early age. With access to art-related resources at home, he developed a strong visual sensibility and creative thinking.
Since high school, Dugyeong was particularly drawn to interior design, developing an interest in the relationship between space and people. He was attracted to designs that consider user experiences and emotions, beyond creating a beautiful space. Through this, he came to understand that space can have a positive effect on people's lives.
Based on this, Dugyeong continues to explore new ideas and trends while developing his own design philosophy with the aim of combining functionality and aesthetic elements.
Urban Cycling hub
In Singapore, bicycles are widely used as a means of daily transportation, and the number of individuals who cycle as a hobby for health and leisure has been growing steadily.
This cycling culture has developed naturally due to well-established cycling infrastructure and relatively safe road conditions across the city. However, despite this active environment, there is a lack of dedicated community spaces where cyclists can gather and interact. As a result, many individuals remain limited to commuting or solitary riding, highlighting an increasing demand for spaces that support social engagement and knowledge exchange.
In response, this project proposes a community space designed specifically for cycling enthusiasts. The space extends beyond basic storage and maintenance functions, aiming to create an environment that encourages natural interaction and shared experiences. The programme includes a lounge area for rest and informal interaction before and after rides, a workspace for basic bicycle maintenance and an open area for community activities that promote a broader engagement with cycling culture.
This project presents cycling not only as a mode of transportation but also as a medium for social connection and communication.
This maintenance space is designed to address damage or mechanical failure, among the most common challenges during bicycle use. It is equipped with essential tools and equipment to handle issues such as punctures, brake malfunctions and chain dislodgement.
The space supports basic inspection and repair tasks without requiring advanced technical expertise. It aims to enable immediate resolutions to problems encountered during riding, contributing to safer and more sustainable bicycle use.
Various cycling devices are installed for users to enjoy riding indoors and experience riding in a stable environment, without being affected by weather or external environments. By visually simulating real road environments or offering various virtual routes through front-mounted screens, the space is designed to create an immersive experience, as if riding a bicycle outdoors.
Through this, the project aims to implement an indoor bicycle space that provides a realistic riding experience that is enjoyable, going beyond the concept of simple exercise equipment.
The overall model includes a 2.5-metre-wide ramp designed to provide smooth and convenient access to the second floor while riding or pushing a bicycle. The ramp functions not only as a means of circulation but also as a key spatial element that maintains continuity of movement, allowing users to experience the space without interrupting the cycling flow.
On the second floor, spaces are organised to support more advanced cycling activities. A fitting and posture analysis area enables riders to assess and improve their riding postures, promoting safer and more efficient cycling. In addition, a dedicated workspace for bicycle customisation allows users to modify their bicycles according to individual preferences, encouraging a deeper understanding of the bicycle beyond its basic use.
