1. In first place is Pops Arcadia on Route 66, Oklahoma. The
cantilever building features a 66ft drinks bottle on the grass outside,
which lights up at night.
2. In second place is Orival Gas Station in Belgium, which spans both
carriageways and features not only fuel pumps, but picnic areas and art
exhibitions in the surrounding landscaped parks.
3. The Wissol Gas Station in Georgia is actually one of 20 fuel stops
commissioned by the head of the Roads Department. It was completed in
2011 and is built from steel and concrete, its design intended to
reflect the mountainous landscape that surrounds it.
4. The Batumi petrol station in Georgia includes a well-known fast food
chain. The dual design features tinted windows on one side and a large
white overhang, linked by their use of geometric beams for continuity.
5. Over to the Netherlands for the rather oppressive looking Houten
Service Station, completed in 1999. It is built from galvanised steel
plates, designed to minimise wind turbulence and serve as obvious entry
and exit points for cars.
