新的哈珀汽车清洗店原型的设计在没有豪华建筑预算的情况下提供了一个豪华的客户体验。 该项目位于交通繁忙的车辆通道上，周围是工业和汽车用途，这给外部设计策略带来了灵感。 在紧凑的占地面积内，高效的建筑结构利用常见的工业材料组成和细节，创造了一个干净、现代的建筑解决方案。
The design of the new Harper Auto Wash prototype delivers a luxury customer experience without a luxury construction budget. Positioned along a heavily traveled vehicular corridor, the project site is surrounded by industrial & automotive uses which inspires the exterior design strategy. Constrained within a compact footprint, the efficient building structure leverages common industrial materials composed & detailed to create a clean, modern architectural solution.
波纹金属护墙板具有随机的轮廓和颜色图案，漂浮在暴露的混凝土块和店面的基础上。 在金属护墙板内，白色和灰色的条纹图案被部署，以唤起整个建筑立面的运动感。 界定建筑基座的CMU响应了水洗环境对材料的要求，同时也与较轻的波纹金属板和店面系统形成了对比。
Corrugated metal siding features a randomized profile & color pattern which floats above a base of exposed concrete block and storefront. Within the metal siding, a pattern of white and gray color striation is deployed to invoke a feeling of movement across the building elevation. The CMU, which defines the building’s base, responds to the material demands dictated by the wash environments – while also providing a contrast to the lighter corrugated metal panels and storefront systems.
建筑本身的定位和设计是作为自己的 “广告牌 “来吸引新的和现有的客户。 楼面设计是一个令人难以置信的高效和简单的长方形，清洗和加工区沿建筑的长度方向布置。咖啡厅和客户休息室位于清洗区和精加工区之间的中心位置，并以宽大的落地窗为支架，以捕捉共享的日光，并提供邻近清洗区的无障碍视野。
The building itself is positioned and designed to act as its own “billboard” to attract new & existing customers. The floor plan is conceived as an incredibly efficient & simple rectangle with the Wash and Finishing Bays positioned along the lengths of the building. The Coffee Shop and Customer Lounge are centrally located between the Wash and Finishing Bays and are bracketed with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows to capture shared daylight & provide unobstructed views of the adjacent wash areas.
在客户区，交错的声学挡板和线性照明元素加强了运动的感觉，从摄影中捕捉到的汽车运动产生的 “光条纹 “效果中获得灵感。木板条被纳入室内建筑，以吸引人们对咖啡店酒吧的注意，同时也为顾客休息室提供了一个温暖的亲水元素。哈珀洗车店的设计很有节制，它尊重简单材料的内在美，接受日光和景观的机会，并在建筑上提升了典型的 “洗车 “项目。
Within the customer zones, staggered acoustic baffles and linear lighting elements reinforce the feeling of movement, drawing inspiration from the “light streak” effect created by the motion of cars captured in photography. Wood slats are incorporated into the interior architecture to draw attention to the Coffee Shop bar, as well as to provide a warm, biophilic element for the Customer Lounge. Designed with restraint, Harper Auto Wash respects the beauty inherent in simple materials, embraces opportunities for daylight & views, and architecturally elevates the typical “car-wash” program.
