Eunos excellence reflected in new showroom

Centenary Motors Group is one of Brisbane’s leading Mazda and Mercedes Benz dealership.

OBJECTIVES
Wiley was engaged to design and construct a state-of-the-art automobile showroom and service complex that would reflect the standards of excellence of the Mazda Eunos range.

Wiley was chosen for its compatibility with the culture of the client firm, particularly its commitment to excellence and its willingness to strive for the optimal project result.

CHALLENGES

• Creating a complex with maximum visual impact on a prominent corner site.
• Satisfying the discerning Eunos customer’s expectations of first class product, presentation and after sales service with the design and construction finishes.
• Redesigning the traditional workshop concept to create a service area that offers exceptional operating efficiency, cleanliness and corporate presentation.
• Special planning and coordination of deliveries and subcontractors resulting from the lack of main street access to the site.

SOLUTIONS

Design

• A spectacular design featuring a structural steel frame and 4.5 metre floor-to-ceiling glass panels to capitalise on the site’s highly visible location.
• Use of Eunos corporate colours throughout the complex.
• Inclusion of specialised lighting that highlights the quality of cars on display and reduces use of electricity and air conditioning.

Innovative design features throughout the service area, including:

• A post-tensioned concrete reinforced floor slab to create a 15 metre ‘clear span’.
• Ten fully tiled washdown bays with grip span grating
• Hoist areas with fully grated drain areas to reduce build-up of oil, brake fluid and brake dust.
• Stainless steel work benches with built-in parts washers, waste disposals and sink clean areas.
• A dust-free area for repairing major car components.

Construction

• Organise and manage all aspects of the construction.

RESULTS
Wiley delivered a high quality, visually appealing automobile showroom and service complex featuring state-of-the-art technology and design elements which matches Eunos standards of excellence and gives Centenary Motors Group a strong market presence in Brisbane.
