The envisioned car exhibition building, located in Bangna, the Eastern CBD of Bangkok, is set to redefine the automotive showcase experience by making vehicles the exclusive focal points within the space. Celebrating form and appearance, the design employs a monotone color palette in various textures, complemented by evenly distributed Barrisol ceiling lights throughout the building. This approach creates a futuristic gallery space that enhances the visual impact of the exhibited cars, captivating the collective imagination of car enthusiasts.
Named ROADSTER CAR HOTEL, the facility is not just a parking garage but a car care destination. In customer zones, staggered acoustic baffles and linear lighting elements are strategically placed to evoke a sense of movement, inspired by the "light streak" effect seen in photographs capturing the motion of cars. The design goes beyond the conventional car-care facility, embracing simplicity through the use of glass and stone materials. The entrance, featuring a hydraulic ramp, welcomes daylight and panoramic views, elevating the architectural narrative beyond the typical "car-wash" program.
A remarkable feature of the ceiling grid is its independently controlled zones, allowing for preset options to illuminate each vehicle individually. This innovative design choice ensures that each car becomes a focal point, enhancing its visual appeal within the exhibition space. The combination of the luminous ceiling and a mirrored rear wall creates the illusion of an endless, sky-lit space, adding a touch of grandeur to the overall ambiance.
A unique lighting feature further enhances the presentation. With a simple switch, each parking bay can be illuminated with a vivid thin line of LED meticulously installed in the grout line. This attention to detail ensures that each vehicle is showcased in exceptional light, allowing visitors to appreciate the intricate details of each car on display.
The ROADSTER CAR HOTEL is not merely a parking facility; it is an immersive experience designed to showcase automotive marvels in a futuristic and aesthetically pleasing environment. The architects have ingeniously crafted a space that transcends the ordinary, creating a captivating haven for car enthusiasts and a celebration of automotive design.
