Creating an Experience
Our team incorporated “car bars” into the design, outdoor spaces where staff can connect with current and prospective clients. The tall, covered tables feature built-in charging stations, wi-fi hotspots and TV monitors for added convenience. Additionally, the dealership’s large, open plaza for staging cars doubles as an event space, while poured-in-place concrete benches provide seating for visitors.
Mixing Materials
The design team applied a variety of materials throughout the project. We combined cobblestones, asphalt, concrete and three different types of pavers with trees and native planting areas, rather than traditional black pavement, to create both contrast and cohesion.
Lighting the Way
Car buyers often visit dealerships at night, making lighting a critical component of the dealership’s design. Lighted bollards define the show space while overhead lights illuminate the cars while not impacting views.
