In approaching the design for the Richmond dealership, the architect initially had to elevate the building 15 feet, due to the rise and slope of Midlothian Turnpike.
The lot size also presented challenges which were resolved by adding a ramp for vehicle access to the roof. This design change opened space for employee parking, vehicle inventory and four specialty stalls used to prepare vehicles before they are handed over to their new owners.
