The Gas Station as a Lifestyle Hub

With the Migrolino Hub in Spreitenbach, a new concept for the service station of the future was realized. GALA Design engineered the consumption environment as a cohesive element, bridging the gap between high-speed retail and the Vapialino gastronomic experience.

Design as a Unified Connection

Our focus was not merely a new building, but the creation of a transferable design standard for future Migrolino Hub expansions across Switzerland.

Consumption Environment & Atmosphere

We designed the dining and lounge area as a modern landscape. Green/Petrol banquet seating paired with wood and biophilic accents creates a premium feel that encourages travelers to linger.

Orientation, Detail, and Functionality

A clear wayfinding system leads visitors intuitively through the hub. The signage design merges functionality with a warm, independent visual language supported by high-end materials.

Project Insights: A Modern Mobility Hub

The Spreitenbach location serves as the flagship prototype and reference for a nationwide rollout. The concept integrates diverse usage types into a unified, structured experience. Our goal was to create a space that transcends basic supply, merging mobility, enjoyment, and modern lifestyle.


The Design Concept: A Scalable System

The Migrolino Hub was developed as a comprehensive design system. We created a consistent, recognizable environment that maintains its identity across varying floor plans. The result is a flexible architectural framework with high stay-quality and instant brand recognition.
