Car showroom, Glasgow
This new build car showroom comprises a three storey showroom, workshop, eight storey display tower, and multistorey car park. The location in central Glasgow was a brownfield site, formerly occupied by DC Thomson printworks. The site levels required an innovative solution: a multi-level showroom. A double height showroom sits at street level, with a lower level used car display below. At the upper level are administrative functions.
The striking car tower provides two functions: the transfer of vehicles between different levels, while also providing a unique display for the dealership, visible from the adjacent motorway.
The dealership is also home to a modern workshop, flooded with natural light. A separate multi-level car park provides efficient vehicle storage as well as valet facilities on this compact site.
Completed at McLaren Murdoch & Hamilton Chartered Architects.
