The Electric Vehicle Waystation is intended to be a building for people charging their electric vehicles to pass the time in many ways, from spaces to relax and spaces to burn some energy. The inspiration for the form was lighting bolts and creating an abstract building from it.

The front façade, displayed in the middle, of the building has wood running vertically to create shade on the interior of the building but still allow for light to peer through. The opposite side, displayed below, has many windows facing the nearby field and wooded area to take their mind off the road and interact with nature.

The parking lot for the electric vehicles has solar powered coverings that helps power the chargers and the building itself. There is also two exterior patios one for the restaurant space and the other for general use. Other spaces in the building include convenience store, workout center, office and breakroom for the workers, and an information desk at the center of the space.
