This 3-storey 5,000 sm flagship Porsche Center is the first of Porsche’s ‘new corporate identity’ showroom outside of Germany that accentuates the continued elegance of its branding and precision for supercars and clean technology mobility. The exterior façade of the showroom on the ground floor is fully glazed to allow maximum transparency of a full-height glass façade while lifting the strong geometric box above that encapsulates offices on the upper floor. This massing is further accentuated by a signature 3D façade skin-wall which filters natural lighting and refreshes the dynamic vision of the brand. This creates the illusion of a floating showroom above a light and permeable lightbox.
