A large steel framed canopy extends from the building to mark the ‘pick-up and drop-off’ area for clients servicing their vehicles as well as the delivery point for clients purchasing new vehicles. The canopy also defines the public entry of the building, directing customers past vehicles on display through to the truck showroom, reception area and service centre. Glass and steel are used extensively throughout the building, reflecting the materials and finishes of the trucks on display. Full height glazing extends the visual continuity of the showroom to include that of the outdoor display areas.
