Route 66 may have become largely deserted after the opening of Insterstate 40, but that hasn't stopped ElevenTH Architects from turning one of its old gas stations into their new headquarters.
Using recycled parts to retain as much of the original station's edifice as possible, ElevenTH Architects have created a retro-themed office space that captures all of the original charm of Route 66 iconography while also outfitting their base camp with a green lawn and some modern conveniences.
