The landscaping project for the INA Heinzelova gas station carries a clear mission: to create a pleasant and functional oasis despite its urban surroundings. Considering the specific needs of the client, the goal was to transform the gas station area into an attractive destination that provides users with a pleasant experience, despite the traffic-heavy and industrial nature of the environment.
Through a careful design approach, the area surrounding the gas station has been transformed into a space that is not only practical but also visually appealing, creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. A green belt along the main road serves as a natural filter, reducing the impact of traffic congestion and creating privacy for the café space and outdoor terrace.
The project incorporates abundant greenery around the café terrace, bringing freshness and relaxation into everyday life. The selection of trees, shrubs, and decorative plants was carefully curated to create a harmonious space that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The plants placed along the terrace and around the café add a touch of color, making the space enjoyable and relaxing for visitors.
For the outdoor area, green zones were designed to create a transition between the industrial environment of the gas station and the serene atmosphere of the terrace. The green belt acts as a barrier, providing a sense of intimacy while also reducing the visual impact of the traffic-heavy area.
Through this initiative, INA Heinzelova demonstrates how landscaping can enhance everyday spaces such as gas stations and terraces. This project lays the foundation for creating sustainable, green spaces within urban settings, tailored to the needs of modern users.
