the exploration of a carwash/ gas station as
a vertical system becomes an alternative
for a denser future. the various iterations
use different approaches to environmental
design by paying close attention to the use of
energy and resources. the final form results
in providing a carwash that creates its own
water resources for the building and street
block.

“Touchless CarWash” is located in the heart of Downtown Berkeley--
west of the UC Berkeley Campus and east of a popular BART station.
This one-stop-for-gas-and-wash becomes a large consumer of water
and natural resources, yet a needed service for this urban setting.
Our re-designs study the various roles of water for the site. We experiment
with condensing program to offer alternative methods of
organizing space and utilizing natural resources to produce energy.
