This project is a result of integrating biophilic architecture in designing a car detailing centre by transforming an abandoned warehouse into a functioning process building. The site provides a lush greenery surrounding the building and giving the users a different experience where it promotes the association with the nature, which was the main purpose of the design that they cannot experience in a typical auto service centre. The abandoned warehouse structure and roof was used as a base skeleton and the envelope was designed in a manner exposing it without wrapping away old structure completely. There were a lot of salvaged steel and timber stored in this warehouse by the previous owner and everything that can be reused were integrated into the design. 60% of steel used in the project were salvaged from its own site and used for cladding supports, main entrance, luminaires and staircases. Also, pre-used timber was utilized in the first-floor deck area and a couple of roof frame structures were used as the guardrails on the vehicular bridge. This helped the project to push towards a more sustainable approach by reducing its carbon footprint. An automobile detailing academy was introduced with the realization of the strengths of the site. In the future the benefits from the vocational training by the academy will address the human and social aspects of sustainability which will enhance the project’s compass.

One of the most enjoyed projects from its commencement to completion; achieving its minimalist form and functionally interconnected linear space arrangement. It is the ultimate satisfaction for an architect to witness the designed spaces being enjoyed by the family and their friends.
