This project reimagines an existing Soviet-era gas station, transforming it from a purely utilitarian facility into a contemporary, multi-functional public space. Previously, the site offered only basic fuel services. The new design expands its role within the city, responding to changing lifestyles, mobility patterns, and social needs.
The updated station integrates a supermarket with fresh bakery products, coffee and tea points, indoor seating areas with charging stations for personal devices, free Wi-Fi access, and clean, comfortable public restrooms. Beyond the building itself, the territory is enhanced with landscaped outdoor areas, including summer pavilions, benches, and a workout zone, encouraging longer stays and use by a broader range of visitors.
The project is conceived as an inclusive urban space—useful not only for motorists, but also for pedestrians, taxi drivers, nearby residents, and city guests. By extending the function of a traditional gas station, the design contributes to the creation of more open, friendly, and socially active places within the urban fabric.
The operator building has a total area of 230 square meters. The station is equipped with six fuel dispensers for conventional fuel, one dispenser for gas, and an electric vehicle charging station, reflecting a transition toward more diverse and future-oriented mobility solutions.
The architectural expression is defined by a clear, contemporary façade composed of aluminum panels. In compliance with national regulations, all construction and finishing materials used at the station are non-combustible, ensuring a high level of safety alongside durability and ease of maintenance.
One of the key objectives of the project was to create comfortable conditions for all users, turning a routine stop into a positive spatial experience and redefining the role of everyday infrastructure within the city.
