Tango and Bakker Bart
Innovative service station for Tango and Bakker Bart
TconcepT has designed an innovative service station for Tango and Bakker Bart. In collaboration with Conceptional we designed an sustainable and modular new charging, refuelling and food concept.
A Neighbourhood Hub for the Future
The first new station will be opening in Deventer this year, offering a contemporary food concept with fresh sandwiches and quality coffee, served in a comfortable setting where visitors can work or relax. In addition to a unique eating experience, the concept gives greater priority to electric charging.
The increase in electric driving calls for the Tango location to be redesigned, with a more prominent place given to chargers and additional facilities for people who charge or fill up, live nearby or are on the move. Tango and Bakker Bart are responding to a clear trend in the market: away from the traditional service station and towards a modern meeting place where you can recharge – both literally and figuratively. In the next two years, the first ten locations will be completely transformed in line with this innovative concept, where electric charging, refuelling and a tasty break go hand in hand. Additional sites will then be converted to the new concept.
Sustainable and Modular Design
The architecture is based on a prefabricated, wooden column-and-beam construction kit that allows for quick assembly and reducing transportation emissions. This modular approach ensures that each building can be adapted, expanded, or even relocated as needed, providing long-term flexibility with minimal environmental impact.
A recognizable Identity
The design is rooted in simplicity and clarity, making it instantly recognizable. The architectural structure is built around three key elements:
– The Base: As transparent as possible, providing a clear view of the activity inside and welcoming customers to come in
– The Roof: A wooden slab that slides over the base to form a canopy and mark the entrance
– The Tower: A luminous beacon that improves visibility.
