Brief

To develop a new state-of-the-art multi brand vehicle dealership and service centre to align with the new dealership design guidelines.Challenges & Solutions

The existing site was an old, tired but functioning Toyota dealership. The program of spaces were out of date with the current style and procedures of dealerships. The decision was to demolish the existing buildings, carparking and service department. With a clear and clean site, a new building form, better connection was developed. The challenge was to work with Ford, Toyota and Volkswagen as they were all wanting to be the alpha. The solution was to develop a single building for efficiency but with specifically designed wings for the individual brands. Carparking became an issue due to planning requirements and the compromise of dealership display space and vehicle access.Materials

Starbox Architecture. At Starbox Architecture - we humanise spaces. This means creating spaces that promote social interaction, engagement and connection. We focus on spaces individually, collectively and how we experience spatial sequences. We are driven by the brief, site location, local elements and human value. We believe that working collaboratively alongside clients and consultants with effective communication, ensures that the brief is ultimately addressed and realised. Our designs are individual, site specific and client driven with character, purpose and individuality that are intimately connected to the client. We respond to the context of the site in a dynamic manner that is both relevant and appropriate to create a built form that is physically beautiful and enriches the lives of it’s occupants pragmatically and aesthetically. We are always conscious of passive environmentally sustainable design principles which include consideration of the material palette and the manner in which the building elements are connected to the surrounding environment. We are a multi-disciplinary practice that has delivered many projects of varying diversity, scale and complexity and has proven capability in both design and delivery.
