Architect Lina Toro designed the Burbucar Car Wash in Madrid, Spain -- a futuristic car wash that offers a unique and interactive experience.
The futuristic car wash is almost completely adorned in blue paint which gives it its futuristic, if slightly unnerving, aesthetic. The cars enter the washing area in the building which has windows that allow people to view the wash in-action from the outside rather than the inside of the car. The water used to wash the cars is recycled in a "purifying room" and there are dedicated waiting lounges which have futuristic plastic chairs extending from the ceiling and a tiny plastic ball pit -- most likely for toddlers. A large version of the company logo "Burbucar" is placed on one of the starkly blue walls.
Rather than making washing your car a chore, this facility has managed to make it an experience that people will look forward to.
