Architecture and Design | GERMANY
The exhibited car becomes a fetish that radiates a strong fascination.
Visually levitating, the lounge protrudes into the central room, the form mimicking a wing. The furnishing by designer Christian Haas generates a counterpart against the exhibition. The lounge area is not publically accessible; visitors are invited into the salon for an event. The generous window offers a view across the imaginary exhibition landscape, through the colorful light installation.
The design analyzes the special driving feeling and makes it comprehensible for the visitors. Architecture and art provide the perfect setting, which allows the visitor to glide through a true dream landscape with the object of desire.
Additional Information on Materials and Construction
Mirror Faces
Regarding the material selection, Stephen Williams Architects attached great importance to high quality. The curved mirror wall is made of high-gloss, polished stainless steel, which consists of a sub-structure made from CAD-milled Alucor panels with magnetic fixing, allowing for concealed fixing points and easy revision access. The podium was also constructed with a substructure from Alucor beams, arranged as a grid. Stainless steel sheets with a perfect surface finish were then mounted on a base plate.
Stone
In the sanitary areas (restrooms), the architects used high-gloss polished onyx marble as floor covering. The wall paneling refers to the subject of reflections: The stone is reflected in the glass panes with black film on the rear. The ornamentally-curved, sanitary furniture (toilets, urinals and sinks) are sculptures in the room.
Curved Drywall Construction
The curved wall surfaces between the podium and ramp are constructed from dry wall. Standard profiles were assembled according to a 3D model and planked with three layers of flexible plasterboards. The cantilever cube accommodating the salon is designed as a steel skeleton structure suspended from the ceiling and supported by the walls at the connection points.
