Eco Gas Station by Lost At E Minor
In Los Angeles, the gas guzzling center of the Universe, BP enlisted Office dA to embrace the paradoxical task of creating a green petrol station. Improving the existing station on site, it's not a station "of the future," rather, a station for today that takes steps towards becoming greener in its design, materials and its use of water and energy.
Located at the corner of Olympic and Robertson in Los Angeles, CA, more info on the eco-friendly station here.
