Velo tourism has become increasingly popular. As a form of sustainable tourism, velo tourism helps not only improve the health and wellbeing of travellers, but works to reduce the impact of tourism on the environment, all while generating significant revenue for the countries involved. The EuroVelo 6 cycle route – one of the 15 long distance cycle routes of the European continent - traverses the width of Europe, running all the way from the Atlantic ocean to the Black Sea while exploring the European rivers. Participants were tasked with creating subtle and intriguing designs for rest stop cabins for long-distance cyclists that can be contructed along the length oft he EuroVelo 6 cycle path. The cabins should reflect the European identity, with a design aesthetic that could become iconic in its own right. With ROBIN, our rotatable cabin, INIK intended to meet those demands. In the end ROBIN was chosen as one of 40 shortlisted projects, from which were selected nine winners in different categories.
