#reinvention

The new headquarters for Bob Moore Auto Group reinvents the firm’s existing Collision Center to be the first element in a unified campus. Built in 1951, the single storey brick-clad structure has been previously extended and remodelled; the latest interventions will see the building pared back, opened up and extended upwards to create a modern working environment, revitalising the corner site and the piece of city in which it sits.

The design strategy capitalises on the existing long-span of the original structure to create flexible open-plan office, and supplements it with a new second floor, lending prominence to the east facade facing Shartel Avenue and signalling the entrance to the building. New planting and landscaping on the site will extend to adjacent lots, while new internal courtyards bring natural light deep into the building and create additional landscaped areas for building users to enjoy.
