For the construction of a new garage, Audi offers its franchise holders two options: either build a standardized Audi Terminal, where form, materials and appearance are strictly defined in a detailed specification book, or opt for a “free” garage, with more design freedom.
For the commission in Lokeren, YUGENING chose the second path – and rooted the design in the iconic form of the Audi TT. This inspiration gave rise to the building’s curved roofline, which inside the showroom creates a sense of intimacy. A subtle gesture, yet one that immediately puts potential clients at ease – an advantage that proves effective when it comes to sales.
The gleaming, titanium-like exterior perfectly translates Audi’s slogan: Vorsprung durch Technik – progress through technology expressed in architecture.
The building program comprises a 1,750 m² facility, featuring a showroom with space for 17 cars and a workshop positioned behind it. Here too, the new dealership was designed in line with Volkswagen’s standards, resulting in a clear and rational architectural concept.
