IN DESIGN

Located in Sheikhupura, Pakistan the design approach was to divide the designated plot into a grid, which would then be manipulated by the U-shaped curve naturally formed by the circulation path of vehicles through the plot, with entrance and exit points positioned at opposite ends. This U-shaped curve was utilized in the parametric design process as an input, acting as both an attractor and a repellor to influence the parameters of the grid's modules. This included factors like the distance of extrusions and their altitude, resulting in a distinctive pixelated stepped effect visible on the canopy and surrounding structures, giving the design its unique identity.

This project shatters the mold for traditional gas stations by embracing innovation and sustainability in its very framework. The core structure relies on a robust steel frame, ensuring exceptional strength and flexibility to accommodate the diverse functions housed within. The striking facade is crafted from UHPC (Ultra-High-Performance Concrete), a revolutionary material offering unmatched strength and a remarkably slender profile. This allows for the project's signature pixelated design while maximizing natural light penetration. To further enhance energy efficiency, the facade incorporates low-emissivity glass, minimizing heat gain or loss and reducing reliance on HVAC systems. Sustainability takes center stage with the use of EcoPact concrete throughout the construction. This groundbreaking material boasts a significantly reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional concrete.The roof it's adorned with solar panels that harness clean energy from the sun, contributing to a more sustainable future and powering the building's operations. This thoughtful selection of materials creates a structure that is not only visually captivating but also exceptionally strong, durable, and environmentally responsible.

The Ecoscape Station rewrites the gas station experience, prioritizing a sustainable journey from the moment you enter. Here, your circulation, the way you move through the space, becomes an immersion in a green haven. Lush vertical gardens flank the entrance and exit points, acting as natural filters that purify the air and enhance your visual experience as you navigate the station.

Sustainability is further emphasized with permeable paving materials. As you drive or walk, the ground beneath you isn't just a solid surface. This innovative material allows rainwater to filter back into the ground, replenishing natural aquifers and reducing stormwater runoff. Even the canopies over the entry and exit points boast green roofs, providing natural insulation and contributing to a cooler microclimate as you circulate throughout the station.

Signage is subtle and integrated seamlessly, using natural or recycled materials and low-energy lighting, ensuring clear direction without detracting from the natural aesthetic.
This unique blend of functionality and sustainability sets the Ecoscape Station apart. From the moment you arrive, your circulation through the station becomes a refreshing and eco-conscious experience.
