Description
Our main focus was to rehabilitate the old facilities by integrating three types of new facilities underneath - workshops, warehouses and stands - from different car brands just as Volkswagen, Audi, Cupra and Skoda. For this purpose, the plan was to adapt the existing pavilions through the demolition of specific sectors and build new parts on the street front and rear areas of the land, perfectly integrating the new with the renewed builings. In order to emphasize the location of the Lighthouse installation and establish visual contact with costumers, not only the vehiles on display but also the reception area, were thought and projected to stay in the front façade framed by huge glazed glass planes.
