Gas Station Floor Plan and Schematic Design
Approval of the preliminary study means decisions have been made on how the site will be occupied and that it is pre-organized. This is the moment to create and develop exclusively: building massing, lighting, colors, materials, landscaping, and to adjust whatever is needed to make full use of the structure, deliver operational agility, and provide the best experience for your gas station's customers.

The gas station schematic design is when “form” becomes “substance,” meaning our team will turn ideas and sketches into concrete solutions. It is the modeling stage, where you begin to see the project more realistically. It is the phase in which the entire exterior environment is designed in 3D for an accurate view of the spaces.
The architects refine every decision that turns your gas station project into an exclusive creation. From the sketch you approved with our team come all the construction elements in perspective. All the elements that make up the environment, the maneuvering spaces, and the massing become visible.

the details
Imagine that the floor plan marked where the convenience store's windows would go; now you can see how it will look on the exterior facade, or notice how the second-floor office made it easier to oversee the team and the forecourt. The effect of the convenience store facade on the whole looked very bold, but now it is visible and the positive impact is immediate. Even a small ramp near the service area that had not been noticed on the floor plan appears, making it easier to move cargo and unload products to the storeroom.
/ Construction details
Massing is one aspect of the schematic design, but this is also the moment when you can partially visualize what the construction will be like. The specifications also cover materials, construction techniques, and so on. So, if the project has a convenience store or office in masonry or steel structure, the specifications are right there; if the client opts for something different, such as using containers, they will also get a visualization of that element on the finished gas station.
/ Final adjustments
The schematic design is the high point and the end point of the architectural creation where the materials and construction techniques are confirmed, every element is in its place, and all elevations, facades, and details such as interior furniture layout and green areas are visible.
Following the planning of the new gas station or renovation, we begin the action plan: the construction documents.
