Silver Lake, the hilly neighborhood of Los Angeles has always been famous for its multifarious blend of avant garde creativity and modernist architecture. Moving along that intriguing level of artistic progression, environmental designer Lydia Chan has conceptualized the equally practical and accessible Grassolean, which according to the designer’s own words is – a full fledged sustainable bio-diesel fuel station.
The inspiration for the design has always been the eclectic and rather vivacious nature of the Silver Lake community, which has always been known for its creative class of people. In this case she has managed to combine and harmoniously coalesce different spatial elements, forms and shapes (influenced by the community) into an embodiment of a three dimensional modernist structure.
The artful conception transcends the conventional limitation of a fuel station, by acting as a fully accessible and flexible collective space for people to meet. And of course the shelter-esque nature carries with itself strong overtones of green technology, as the whole design will firstly and fore-mostly be a fuel station for sustainable bio-fuel.
