A petrol and service station illuminated to be seen from afar

The innovative character of the fuelling concept is reflected in the contemporary design of the complete facility. The Munich offices of Allmann Sattler Wappner were responsible for the architecture. The defining element consists of a long, curved gabled roof inversely folded upwards and running from the filling area through to the shop, restaurant and terrace. Interior design by the Austrian designers W2 Manufaktur integrates the dynamic shape of the building to translate it into a room-defining element with folded wooden formwork. Traditional Bavarian elements have also been stylishly reinterpreted.

Weiser.Lighting from Troisdorf were responsible for the lighting design, and special focus was placed on uniformly illuminating the underside of the inverse saddle roof. In this way the characteristic feature of the petrol station is emphasized, is visually highlighted when viewed from the highway and is also pleasantly eye-catching in the expansive landscape. ERCO supplied suitable lighting tools for the outdoor, indoor and entrance areas. In the petrol filling area the roof is illuminated by Lightscan facade luminaires with wide light distribution mounted to supports, a connected load of 48 watts and LED output of 5040 lumens.

The shop is illuminated to attract attention with use of bright-dark contrasts. In this way visitors can easily find their way around and quickly find the right products. Parscan spotlights from ERCO were used with spot distribution.

Vines were planted along two sections of the timber-clad building facade. The walls are illuminated with grazing light. As soon as the plants have grown and spread across the complete area their leaves will create a highly expressive play of light and shadow. Site ground-recessed luminaires from ERCO achieve this effect.
