Audi launch landmark building
On Monday 19th October the world’s largest Audi Centre officially opened its doors to the public. The West London dealership took six years of planning and execution.
One of a kind
Conceived by Architects Wilkinson Eyre, designers of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, the vast glass and metal structure is seven storeys high and occupies over 190,000 square feet.
The highly distinctive curved roof is made from aluminium sheets, each one approximately 40 metres in length without any joints.
The basement levels are an engineering marvel. Built below the water table and beneath the River Thames, they house a 32 bay workshop and extensive parking facilities.
100 years of innovation
Three showroom floors will have space to display 116 cars, while The Audi quattro rooms on floors four and five will be home to an exhibition that showcases the innovations throughout Audi’s 100-year history.
The building's atrium features a dramatic aluminium sculpture designed by artist Gerry Judah. Weighing almost a ton and suspended between three floors, it took three cranes and two days to install.
Ambitious Plans
The imposing new building will be staffed by 100 personnel - approximately 30,000 customers are expected through its doors in the next 12 months.
