Gawron Turgeon Architects, P.C. designed this new 21,000 SF Mercedes Benz dealership for Prime Motor Group. As a new ‘from the ground up’ dealership, GTA designed an upscale environment for the display and servicing of this luxury brand for a discriminating clientele. This state-of-the-art, full-service dealership is designed to enable sales, service and administration staff to work together cohesively.

The design includes a high coffered ceiling in the showroom, custom cherry cabinetry in the client lounge, stone counters in the reception area, private service write-up rooms with a centrally-located service manager’s office, a tiled indoor service drop-off and delivery area, a parts area with mezzanine, workshop, high ceilings and a tiled floor.

The zoning requirements for outdoor car display and the shallow flat site called for creative solutions. To take advantage of the shallow site the service write-up, reception/cashiers’ area, and costumer lounge are centered between the showroom and workshop. Clients enter the facility through carefully placed doors insuring they are seen and receive immediate service. The outdoor vehicle display was needed to be at least 40 feet from the street, so to emphasize the vehicle display, the design layout uses arcs and circles to guide the customer’s eye.
