Title:: Ingham, Te Rapa
Architect:: DLA Architects
Category:: Commercial/; Showrooms

Continuing our successful relationship with Ingham Driven has seen us design, document and deliver numerous car branded showrooms and workshops throughout the North Island. In this instance demand was driven by the adjoining Te Rapa Mercedes, Mitsubishi and Hyundai sites to create an independent additional workshop and grooming facility catering for the overflow of vehicles. It was paramount to the Client the building in both form and materiality was in harmony with the front Mercedes, Mitsubishi and Hyundai buildings but yet was future proofed to be a standalone separate business entity and building if required. The building accommodates 15 service bays, 3 with hoists as well as EV chargers and specialist store areas, an automated car wash, grooming and a 3D car photographic studio. The south western protruding ‘box’ corner of the building includes entry, reception, parts, office and amenities facilities.

Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann.

The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
