Markham Moor Scorer Building, Grade II listed building in West Drayton, England.
The four-columned concrete structure features a thin hyperbolic paraboloid roof design, reaching heights from 5 to 37 feet above ground level.
Sam Scorer and structural engineer Dr Hajnal-Kónyi constructed this building in 1960 as a National Benzole petrol station along the A1 road.
The building represents a period of experimental architectural design in Britain, when architects explored innovative concrete shell structures for commercial purposes.
Located at A638 Markham Moor South in Retford, Nottinghamshire, the structure now operates as a Starbucks drive-through establishment for motorway travelers.
The canopy structure maintains its original 75-millimeter thickness concrete shell roof, which creates an illusion of floating above the ground.
