SERVICE STATION TEXACO

The challenge for the construction of the Texaco service station on the E40 road in Heverlee in Belgium was to align seamlessly with the neighboring Egenhove forest.

Architects office Absis architecten won the competition with a design that was bound to shine. The station now in use is made up of a primary structure consisting of a canopy roof and carried by concrete columns. A secondary steel structure supports the first floor and is surrounded by glass walls with a printed tree design. The underside of the canopy was designed with Hunter Douglas Luxalon® 300L Wide Panel exterior ceiling providing clean, sleek appearance.
