New construction of a car dealership with showroom, workshop and service areas
Building complex with multiple functional areas
The branch was constructed as an ensemble of several building structures and has a gross floor area of 50,282 m². The workshop areas are located in the two basement levels of the northern section of the building. Above these, the BMW showroom, the MINI Cube as well as the multi-storey car park were arranged as separate structures. The complex is complemented by a motorbike centre as well as an access tower, which is connected to the multi-storey car park via a total of three bridges. The various parts of the building were thus functionally integrated into a cohesive complex.
Three types of façade for the building envelope
Three different types of façade were used for the building envelope, which covers a total area of around 10,500 m². The MINI Cube was given a dark mullion-and-transom façade. The BMW and Motorcycle Centre sections of the building were fitted with a grey-and-white mullion-and-transom façade on the ground floor and first floor. On the upper storeys, a profiled façade with a horizontal aluminium louvre structure was used.
Turnkey construction
In addition to structural and finishing works, the overall contract included building services as well as the construction of the Outdoor facilities. The various parts of the building were functionally linked via the Developments within the complex. All services formed part of the turnkey construction of the branch.
A single site for sales, service and workshops
The BMW Berlin branch brings together showroom, service and workshop facilities in a single location. In addition to the showrooms for BMW, MINI and motorcycles, there are workshop and service areas as well as the associated traffic and access facilities. This means that the branch’s various operational areas are consolidated within a single building complex.
