The Design
About Vik Cars 自動車博物館
ヴィーク・カーズ・ミュージアムは、機能性を備えたヴィンテージ自動車の個人コレクションを収蔵するために設計された展示空間です。本プロジェクトはオープンプランのギャラリーとして構成され、空間レイアウトが明快な動線と視覚的秩序を支えています。異なる時代の車両が、統一された空間的枠組みの中で展示されています。リニア照明、パンチング加工のパーティション、床のマーキングが動きを構造化し、連続性を保ちながら展示ゾーンを定義しています。受付、ラウンジ、物販エリアが計画に組み込まれ、来館者の流れとコレクションへのアクセスを支えています。

- Unique Properties
- VIK Cars focuses on "silent architecture," where a minimalist 1500 sq.m. interior serves as a scenographic frame for 32 rare automobiles. The core innovation lies in the bespoke linear LED system that creates a rhythmic light narrative, highlighting the aerodynamic silhouettes and chrome textures of exhibits from different eras. Realized in just 60 days, the space functions as a hybrid cultural hub, merging high-end gallery aesthetics with adaptable event scenarios for a cinematic experience.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Total Area: 1500 sq.m. Ceiling Height: 5 meters. The program includes a main exhibition hall for 32 vehicles, professional racing simulator zones, and a lounge area featuring retro-gaming consoles and vinyl records. A key feature of the central event zone is a massive 7 x 3,6-meter high-resolution screen designed for professional presentations, digital backdrops, and immersive events. The lighting system consists of over 500 meters of bespoke linear LED profiles, providing both ambient illumination and precise accents for the exhibits, integrated with the multimedia capabilities of the space.

- Production Technology
- The 1500 sq.m. facility was realized in a record timeframe of 60 days. The design utilizes a rigorous graphic grid and custom linear LED structures to organize the vast industrial volume. Walls are finished with perforated acoustic panels featuring parametric patterns, adding digital depth to the minimalist shell. The project integrated specialized flooring and ventilation systems required for fully operational vintage vehicles, ensuring a balance between high-end gallery aesthetics and technical functionality.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge was the "fast-track" delivery: managing the complex engineering of a 1500 sqm museum within a strict 60-day timeframe. Strategically, the team had to create a neutral background that wouldn't compete with 32 distinct car designs while maintaining a strong identity. This was resolved by prioritizing light as the main structural element, allowing for rapid installation and a high degree of spatial adaptability for future cultural events and presentations.
- Research
- The project explored the synergy between industrial heritage and modern experiential design. Research focused on using "architectural silence" to maximize the visual impact of high-value artifacts. By analyzing the psychological effects of lighting rhythms, the design team developed a system that eliminates visual noise, allowing the engineering details of cars from different eras to coexist. The result is a hybrid model that transforms a private collection into a functional public-facing cultural platform.
- Inspiration
- The project was inspired by the aesthetics of motion and the "golden era" of automotive engineering. The primary goal was to move away from traditional static museum displays and create a "scenography for cars." We envisioned a space where light acts as the main architectural material, creating a cinematic dialogue between the visitor and the mechanical masterpieces. The design celebrates the automobile not just as a machine, but as a cultural icon and a result of human ambition.
- Project Duration
- The project commenced on August 4, 2025, and was officially inaugurated on October 5, 2025, in Lviv, Ukraine. The most remarkable aspect of the realization was the record-breaking two-month execution period, covering the entire process from the start of on-site construction to the grand opening of the 1500 sq.m. facility.
- Operation Flow
- Visitors embark on a cinematic journey through automotive history, guided by a rhythmic flow of light. The open-plan layout allows for a non-linear exploration, where guests can move freely between themed "light cocoons" surrounding each vehicle. Interaction extends beyond viewing, with integrated zones for professional racing simulators, retro-gaming, and a lounge area for vinyl listening, creating a multisensory experience that blends mechanical heritage with modern lifestyle activities.
