Exclusive Motorcars
Arium AE transformed an existing prefabricated metal building into a luxury used vehicle showroom and service facility.
After over 50 years in use as an RV and Camping Center, this two story structure went under a complete exterior and interior transformation. The new home of ExclusiveMotorcars features a beautiful new vehicle showroom and sales floor, office space upstairs, and garage service bays for photography, washing and repair.
The site has ample parking for a large stock of pre-owned luxury vehicles. Arium partnered with the KasCon in a collaborative design-build effort to work through a host of design challenges in the adaptive reuse of this facility.
At the outset of this project, the client placed a strong emphasis on transforming the lacking street presence of the existing prefabricated metal building.
Arium’s design studio focused on juxtaposing various layers of materials and textures in a way that would provide a clean modern façade at a scale that was appropriate to capture the attention of vehicles passing by on Liberty Road.
Arium’s design team collaborated with the client and the contractor to develop a project that met the project’s aggressive schedule and budget requirements. Exclusive Motorcars now has a facility to support an exceptional customer experience and the community has a new landmark building built to last another 50 years.
