Project overview

The 2018 renovation of Porsche Santa Clarita reimagined an existing auto shop into a cutting-edge Porsche dealership that blends luxury with innovation. A key structural challenge was the selective demolition of the existing post-tensioned concrete slab to introduce a dramatic glass floor in the showroom—offering a clear view into the Porsche museum located in the basement below. This centerpiece required precise structural coordination to maintain integrity while achieving the bold architectural vision.

Conclusion

Our team worked closely with the architect and contractor to deliver a seamless integration of new and old, navigating the complexity of reinforcing the surrounding slab while maintaining a clean, open look. The result is a refined dealership that pays tribute to Porsche’s history, literally and figuratively, with visitors now able to look down into a curated collection of classic cars as they experience the brand’s latest offerings above.
