KARAKORAM HIGHWAY REST AREA

PASSU | PAKISTAN
Commercial | Architecture | 16000 sq. ft

The design of the motorway service area in Passu takes advantage of the roaring peaks in its vicinity. Each outdoor zone provides views of the context, while indoor zones capture it through curated window placements. The use of natural materials like brick, wood, and vegetation complement the surrounding landscape so that the focus always remains on Passu’s rich context. Shifting materiality within the flooring also signals changes in the programs of the service zones to encourage pedestrian movement, while overhangs provide cover during harsher weather.
