EKO Flagship Station
Architectural Design for EKO’s New-Generation Station Format.
What does a petrol station look like when it is designed from the driver outward rather than the pump outward? For EKO, STIRIXIS answered that question with a complete spatial and brand concept for a new station format in Kifisia, Athens, where every element, from the forecourt to the car wash to the coffee counter, was developed as part of a single, coherent environment.
STIRIXIS worked across spatial planning, exterior and interior design, experience design, graphics, landscape architecture and concept execution. The methodology began with the contemporary driver’s needs and the trajectory of mobility retail, ensuring every element was developed with a clear role within a unified environment that reinforces EKO’s brand identity.
The customer journey was designed to begin before the driver reaches the pumps. Lighting, signage, landscaping, and the clear organisation of functions guide the visitor from the moment of arrival. Multiple destinations within the station — EV charging, coffee, retail, car wash, dog wash, parcel lockers, e-bikes — are unified into a single, legible circulation path, so fuel or service selection is immediate and effortless.
The design response addressed three areas: a multi-energy forecourt supporting fuels, alternative energy, and ultra-fast EV charging; spatial organisation that reduces service times and improves service visibility; and an architectural environment where operational efficiency and brand quality reinforce each other.
The EKO station at 264 Kifisias Avenue in Kifisia launched in October 2025. The delivered environment integrates the EKO Charge & Go network with 790 kW of combined charging power, multi-energy infrastructure covering fuels, alternative energy and EV, a VDA-certified car wash system with 85% water recycling and 80% wastewater reduction, and an expanded service layer including a Coffee Island drive-through, mini market, dog wash, parcel lockers and complimentary e-bikes available to visitors during charging or wash — within a premium, spatially coherent brand environment.
