Description provided by the architects.
The architects' task was to design the space for a store, a gas station and a self-service cafe. The flagship gas station as a whole (Dmytro Aranchii Architects also designed its iconic image) and, in particular, its store, should attract the attention of both Kiev residents and guests of the capital who enter the metropolis from Boryspil Airport, and be engraved in their memory, increasing brand awareness …
At the same time, specific technical requirements and the processes described by customers that take place inside the cafe / gas station / store system set clear restrictions for the authors of the project.
Ceiling elements flow smoothly along the walls into the shelves. In the center of the store, there are several weightless, floating "stalactites" hanging from the ceiling: shelves with goods are placed on them. Other centers of the functional areas are marked with disc luminaires, to which "magnetic lines" seem to flow. These lines are made of wood and form an integral shell of the space and all its functionality.
Navigation on the floor helps the visitor to quickly find the necessary element of the store's functional program, to navigate in it.
