Main Contractor: Sydney Building Services
Following the completion of the Volkswagen sales and service complex at Mascot for the Barloworld Motor Group, JPA&D were again engaged by Barloworld to transform a standard motor showroom on Parramatta Road at Five Dock into a state of the art Volkswagen facility.
The horizontal format of the glass exterior gives the building a spacious and airy quality and allows natural light to flood the interior whilst still meeting the new environmental requirements of the building code. The junction of the showroom with the forecourt is softened by generous planting beds which are echoed along the sites boundary.
Other corporate Volkswagen design details including the portal, signage and louvre details complete the signature Volkswagen style.
On the inside, the showroom floor generously accommodates passenger vehicle display, a dedicated handover bay, client hospitality area and reception. Clear glazed windows provide a view through to the refurbished workshop where the activity of vehicle servicing can be seen in the upgraded workshop facility.
A detailed timber and steel stair leads to a mezzanine level that accommodates the dealerships personnel workspaces and a large meeting room. They provide a sweeping view of the showroom floor below.
