Objective
To give the first-in-Texas cutting-edge destination Porsche center a sleek look to match its intent of being a luxury experience for Porsche enthusiasts – and not just your average dealership.
Background
As one of the first such centers in the nation and conveniently located in one of the fastest-growing areas in Greater Houston, indiGO Auto Group needed to be creative with its design of the new six-story, state-of-the-art building. Space was limited but the mission required creating a beacon to Porsche lovers throughout Texas – offering luxury, individually-customized, VR-aided exploration of the latest models and a unique social space referred to as a “Porscheplatz” – and the garage and roof areas needed to match the vibe.
Solution
Griesenbeck sourced and installed 40 Construction Specialties 4” deep louvers totaling nearly 4,200 SF and 70 LF of Vert-A-Cade screens to protect the garage area of the dealership and to provide visual continuity of the exterior around rooftop equipment.
Result
This innovative LEED-certified central gathering place for Porsche enthusiasts and its garage are protected from strong wind and rains while allowing light and air to pass through the structure – all while maintaining a beautiful aesthetic for the building exterior.
