Project overview

This renovation project redefined the dealership’s presence by replacing the entire showroom to align with Lexus’s latest brand design standards. A major structural move involved raising the roof to create a taller, more spacious showroom volume—enhancing natural light, sightlines, and the overall customer experience. The new design incorporates the iconic Lexus blade wall as a central architectural feature, demanding precise structural coordination to integrate seamlessly with the building envelope.

Conclusion

Beyond the showroom, the project also included expansion work in the back of the facility, with the addition of new service stalls and a dedicated car wash building. From structural reconfiguration to new construction, the project supports a complete upgrade of the dealership’s operational and customer-facing spaces—delivering a cohesive, elevated environment that reflects the Lexus brand at every turn.
