One of the largest highway service stations in Taiwan

Qingshui, located in the Greater Taichung region along Highway No. 3, is one of the largest and most used service stations in Taiwan. Shaped like a conch, the 13.8 ha facility hosts a gas station, a parking lot with parking spaces for 1650 cars, 32 coaches and 70 trucks, a food court with numerous restaurants, a supermarket and a service center, restrooms, an outdoor playground and outdoor public art. MAA was in charge of the entire planning, design, and construction supervision for the station and surrounding access roads and parking space. Special attention was made to the architecture design of the rest area in collaboration with Rem Koolhaas’ OMA.
