A CAR showroom has reopened after a £600,000 extension and refurbishment designed by a Huddersfield architecture firm.
Above & Beyond, based at he Media Centre, Northumberland Street, provided the new look for the JCT600 Bentley showroom on Gelderd Road, Leeds.
The showroom has expanded into a neighbouring building, which has been extensively revamped.
Above & Beyond’s 15-strong team designed a new entrance to the buildings, which prominently display the Bentley logo and branding.
Yorkshire firm PDR Construction tackled the building work on site to provide a tailored workshop and after-sales services. The two showrooms on the 3,584 sq ft site will handle new sales and bespoke commissioning as well as the sale of pre-owned vehicles.
Melody Griffiths, interior designer at Above & Beyond, said: “The Bentley brand manual was written for new build showrooms, so the challenge for Above & Beyond was to translate it into a workable solution for a refurbishment project.”
Mark Taylor, group property director of JCT600, said Above & Beyond had drawn on its knowledge and expertise of supplying the interior design market to help keep costs down – at the same time as meeting JCT600 and Bentley brand guidelines.
John White, of PDR Construction, said: “This is yet another contract we have delivered for JCT600 on time and on budget.”
