About Ebi Lab Office Building
EBI Lab is a multifunctional building designed for bicycle display, sales, maintenance and user experiences. The facade is made of mirror polished stainless steel, a material that is corrosion resistant, weather resistant and impact resistant. The reflective surface mirrors the surroundings and connects the building with the city. A spiral staircase extends from the interior to the facade and back inside, linking the functional areas and enlarging the display area. Renewable materials, eco friendly paints and energy efficient lighting reduce the environmental impact.
