Background: representatives of the leading Japanese brand in the Panamanian market have hired him to design a new automotive branch to be located on Calle 50.
Seeing the failure of what car dealership is like in Panama City, which does not take into account the circumstances of the country, which in the first place is a tropical country. I could see in my tour that there was no carport or quiebrasole or louvers that also the car was piled up giving little balance with the human while I had to move away and reach the car dealership. that would allow a protection to the client as well as to the collaborators of the company seeing how it could differentiate from the rest.
The concept is open and attractive to the public as well as outdoors, thus allowing the cars on display to be seen without neglecting the sun protection inside. The concept that I introduced to protect from the sun was placed on the main facade as a right side that are sunshades like wooden louvers on the second floor giving more privacy to the client and the staff who work there.
The work from plant to start was difficult because of the brief you asked for, for example, to place a workshop or customer service as a sale for the workshop, and my main objective is that a reserved part was given as the protagonist of the building with its element architectural, leaving a direct relationship with the pedestrian the driver who passed through the avenue I can appreciate the exhibition and the architectural element.
The work can be considered neo-brutalist due to the showy of the materials and the simple on the floor.
