The Owner acquired Jaguar, Volvo and Aston-Martin dealerships with the goal to construct a new sales and service
facility which would provide brand identity for each manufacturer's automobile, while creating a single, unified facility design.
The southern side of the two-story building contains the
Volvo dealership; the northern is Jaguar and Aston-Martin.
Each manufacturer has it's own design and detailing for
their showroom; Volvo has an angular design concept,
while Jaguar's is curvaceous. Sales and finance offices to
the rear of each showroom serve the dealerships. Separate
drive-through customer service canopies behind the sales
area for each of the dealerships provide access to parts
and service areas on the main floor. Shared offices for
service representatives are located between the two customer service areas. A lounge and retail display is provided
at each dealership in the customer service areas. Parts
and service departments are located towards the rear of
the building on the main floor. The Owner's offices, parts
storage and employee areas are found on the upper floor.
A separate carwash building was included in the plan with
provisions for constructing a reconditioning shop.
The structure incorporates masonry bearing walls, structural steel, precast concrete floors, and steel joist roof
structure. The exterior materials are integrally colored concrete masonry, Alucobond fascia panels, and clear
anodized aluminum storefront systems.
Interior finishes include porcelain ceramic tile, sprayed-on
multicolor finish, vinyl wall covering, aluminum storefront
systems, and lay-in type ceiling systems. A high degree of
finish quality and detailing was provided for all customer
sales and service areas.
