Modern architecture is increasingly becoming a platform for expressing symbolic values and innovative technological solutions. The car showroom designed by the 81.WAW.PL studio is an example of a harmonious combination of aesthetics, functionality and a profound message, created with motoring and modern engineering in mind. The building’s form is deeply rooted in automotive symbolism. The three rings refer to mechanical elements such as wheels, pistons or cogs, making the project not only a functional object, but also an architectural metaphor for precision and innovation.
The design of the building is based on three massive rings that give the impression of floating above the ground. This illusion of lightness is achieved through the use of transparent glass strips separating the individual segments. The transparent walls, almost invisible to the eye, balance the monumental nature of the structure, creating a futuristic levitation effect.
The rings, which are also key structural elements, allude to the symbolism of the wheel – a universal sign of dynamism and technological progress, which is particularly relevant to the automotive world. Glass as the predominant building material not only enhances the sense of lightness, but also allows maximum natural light to illuminate the interiors, making the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces seamless.
The interior of the building has been designed with the diverse needs of the users in mind. The ground floor serves as a display area, accommodating up to 20 vehicles. It is a space where the design of the cars interacts with the modern architecture to create an inspiring environment.
The first floor offers 1,000 sq m of office space, designed with a focus on flexibility and comfort. Thanks to modular solutions, the space can be adapted for both team and individual work. The second floor, with 600 sq m, remains versatile – it can be used as meeting rooms, showrooms, creative zones or event space.
This modern building is not just a car showroom or office building – it is a vision of the future, where technology and design enter into a coherent dialogue. Combining the symbolism of movement and dynamism with innovative architectural solutions, the project becomes a manifesto for contemporary engineering and an expression of the aspiration for continuous development.
