| dc.description | Interior, convenience store, red-tiled cashier booth; With a price tag of $5 million, roughly twice the design and construction cost of a typical station, the 12-pump gas station, mini-market and car wash was commissioned by Jeff Appel, president of the Southern California independent family-owned gas retailer. Designed by L.A. modernist Stephen H. Kanner, the station pays homage to both the L.A. freeway system and to the curvaceous geometry of 1950's Googie architecture, with its bold use of glass and neon and upswept roofs. Appel regularly commissions some one of a kind stations, some theme-based. Source: ArchDaily; http://www.archdaily.com/ (accessed 7/19/2012) | en_US |
