楊梅休息站位於原國道一號南下楊梅收費站舊址，為五股楊梅高架道路南下端點。休息站設計以「原、源、圓、園」為設計發想：

Nature calls，指自然生理上的需求，人類在天地間蹲下就地野放。「原」取自休息站提供休息、如廁、飲食等服務，滿足用路人原始需求。大地之上搭起了一座大屋頂用以遮風避雨，屋頂的圓型開口取用上天給的風光雨露，開口中心轉變漏斗曲面形式以降低簷高，減少斜向風雨造成的不便。屋頂與廁所間的縫隙，是風的通道，可讓氣流自然流動帶走濕度與氣味；「源」取自建築物中地、光、水、風等元素流通循環不息；「圓」為休息站整體造型，圓形的向心空間確保走道延續無隱密角落；「園」則為各圓形廁所中庭引進綠化，在建築中感受自然，從活動中感受沉靜。

平面配置四個圓，三個虛圓設置完整之女廁棟、通用棟、男廁棟；一個實圓設置一層的商店以及上層錯位的設備空間與水塔。本案有別於傳統女廁中才有親子廁間等刻板印象，各棟廁所皆設有親子廁間利於家長使用；通用棟整合哺乳室、無障礙、性別友善及親子廁間，提供最完善、全齡、通用的使用環境。高速公路局全力支持本案設計構想，過程中並主動建議可延續本案獨特的平面構成，轉化為清楚易識別之指標系統。

戶外停車場共計可停放五十四輛小型車及十輛大型車，地坪設計為透水地坪，可有效增加土地保水效能。環場道路回應基地高程變化於道路兩側設置垂直綠化，兩側種植爬藤類植栽，在大客車行駛動線上妝點綠意。

The Yangmei Rest Station is located on the former site of the Yangmei Toll Station along National Highway No. 1. It is located on the southern end of the overpass between the cities of Wugu and Yangmei. The concepts of Yangmei Rest Station consist of four Chinese ideograms, (原), (源), (圓), and (園), which have the same pronunciation, ‘Yuan’ but very different meanings.

The first concept ‘Yuan’(原) refers to origins, or the original physical needs of humans to release ourselves. In this case it is taken to mean that the rest station provides services for the original needs of travellers. We designed a huge roof as shelter from the wind and rain. The round opening on the roof exposes the scenery and rain from the sky. It is transformed into a curved funnel surface to reduce the height of the eaves while reducing the inconvenience caused by the oblique wind and rain. The gap between the roof and the wall allows the passage of airflow and removes humidity and odor. The second concept ‘Yuan’(源) refers to the continuous circulation of elements such as earth, light, water, and wind in the rest station. The third concept ‘Yuan’(圓) refers to a circle and represents the basic geometry of the Yangmei Rest Station. The circular centripetal space ensures that the corridor has not dead end and improves safety. The fourth concept ‘Yuan’(園) means a courtyard garden. We hope to change public perception of typical public toilet facilities with views of courtyard garden and sunlight passing through the roof. Even though it's just a short stay in rest area, we still hope to create a good experience for every traveller.

There are four circles on the ground floor. The women's toilet, the universal building, and the men's toilet are located in three ‘imaginary’ circles. The main store, the equipment space and a water tower on the upper floor are located in the ‘tangible’ circle is. We designed multiple parental care toilets for parental use. The universal building integrates nursing rooms, barrier-free, gender-friendly and parental care toilets, providing comprehensive facilities for all users. During the design period, our design concept for the station was fully supported by Freeway Bureau, MOTC. And we were encouraged to transform our design concept into a distinct signage system.

Parking is available for 54 cars and 10 tourist coach. The flooring of the parking lot and sidewalks are designed as permeable paving increasing water retention. In response to topographic relief, we designed vertical greenery systems on both sides of the tourist coach driving lanes.
