October 15, 2014
The temporary reuse of this car showroom and garage, designed in 1962 by H.A.M. van den Berg, does not intervene on the existing enclosure. A set of autonomous volumes have been inserted inside the structure which do not interfere with the facade in order to preserve to the maximum the openness of the two floors of the building. The enclosures added to distribute the workshops are timber and can be easily be distinguished from the materials of the original building. Easy assembly has meant two years after the opening it has all been taken down and now awaits a new configuration, or in the worst case scenario, the demolition of the building. Meanwhile, the compartmentalized elements remain piled up inside.
