AutoNation Volkswagen Mall of Georgia

PRAXIS3 was selected by Eview 360 of Farmington Hills, MI to assist them with design and serve as the Architect-of-Record for the new Gunther Volkswagen dealership near the Mall of Georgia in Buford. As the number one selling VW dealer in the United States, Gunther VW desired a unique, contemporary design that includes not only new vehicles, but also some of the Gunther family’s extensive collection of vintage VWs. The two-story, 35,000 square-feet facility includes display areas for vintage and new VW vehicles, a retail boutique, customer lounge and café, and a 22-bay service center. The “Woodstock Lawn” in front of the building features a large peace sign and “flower power” automotive displays. Special events will also be held on the lawn, including concerts and “customer appreciation” gatherings of VW owners. The dealership was completed in 2010.
