Drivers Club
A unique program that blends a social club with secure, vehicle storage and collection management.
The Drivers Club is a project designed so members can connect through their shared passion for cars. Challenged to deliver the project as lean as possible, the design team chose to incorporate a pre-engineered steel frame for the major structural system, which was practical and efficient given the project constraints.
To respect the budget, we used building materials that were cost effective and easily accessible by the trades, but intentionally focused on elevating the details of those components and using them in unique way. The façade pattern developed for the exterior metal panels references the staccato effect of driving past fence posts on a winding road. A special emphasis was placed on using regional plant materials reflecting the Pacific Northwest environment.
