The station in question, located on highway 206, had an old, fragile cement structure which was then processed and covered with sheet metal. At the front, a very light architectural work was done: a semi-open, low, long and sloping metal piece, giving the façade a new proportion to support the illuminated advertising and provide some shade in the interior spaces
Refurbished petrol station. Corrugated sheet metal for the new cladding
An old Portuguese service station with an old, fragile structure has been completely renovated by the architectural studio atelierdacosta and equipped with lightweight corrugated sheet metal cladding on the side façades
The renovation project in some way commemorates and ennobles this urban habitat through light architectural features capable of giving a completely new look to an old building that is the protagonist of the country's peripheral areas
