The Design

About Daihatsu Bilverksted

Bygningens omriss har ingen kanter og er utformet med en futuristisk og dynamisk stil som søker en kurvelinjet skjønnhet. Både eksteriør og interiør har hvitt som grunnfarge, med tre og grå aksenter, og antall farger er redusert til et minimum, med den rød-hvite logoen effektivt plassert. Bilene er bygningens hovedattraksjon, og designet er ment å fremheve dem. Bygningen har to funksjoner: den ene er et verksted og den andre er et utstillingslokale for visning av biler.

Unique Properties: This building has two uses.
One is a car maintenance shop and the other is a showroom for displaying cars.
The maintenance shop is not a closed space, but an open space to the outside,
The lighting design is unique and intriguing.
The showroom is almost entirely made of glass from floor to ceiling on the exterior walls.
Straight glass and curved glass are smoothly connected, giving the appearance of an exterior wall finished with a very large single piece of glass, creating a space with impact and high visibility.

Design Challenge: It is very important for a maintenance shop to be a space where work can be done rationally, but at the same time, it is necessary to realize a space that is attractive from the outside,In a showroom, it is important to design a space that is attractive both from the inside and the outside, even if the space is limited.The building should combine these two elements in a design that is innovative and beautiful in form, while at the same time being in harmony with the cityscape.
Research: The maintenance shop has an added element of showing off to the outside world.Generally, a maintenance shop is a closed space, so it is impossible to see what is going on inside, but this is not the case here.About half of the walls have large floor-to-ceiling openings, so the inside of the building is visible. The interior is designed so that the exterior can see the cars being serviced. The lighting is not laid out in an orderly fashion, but is randomly arranged as if many shiny sticks were thrown high into the sky and scattered around, creating a unique and intriguing design.
Inspiration: The exterior of the building is contoured with gentle curves without edges, creating a futuristic and dynamic design that resembles a spaceship.
Both the exterior and interior are composed of white as the base color, with brown and gray accents for the wood grain, and the number of colors has been reduced to the absolute minimum.
The number of colors has been reduced to the bare minimum, so that the brand logo in red and white, the company's corporate colors, stands out.
Project Duration: Project Duration : From October 2022 to December 2023
Project location : Osaka(Japan)
Operation Flow: Almost all of the exterior walls of the showroom are finished with glass.The space is composed of a combination of curved and straight glass, which makes it very easy to see what is going on inside through the glass and provides extremely high visibility. All of the glass from the floor to the ceiling is glass, with no vertical frames, and is connected by butt joints, giving it the appearance of a very large piece of glass with smooth curves, creating a very powerful space.Although not a large space, the showroom is highly effective in advertising the cars on display, as it faces an intersection on a very busy road.
