Description
The project tries to bring the highway in harmony with the environment, to assure safety and comfort, and to combine the useful with the pleasant.
The green space is maximized, and with the patio at the entrance of the building the functionality of the service station is optimized. Around the central space, the roofs unfold as wings, made from white PVC-coated polyester fabric on a lightweight steel structure.
