Jaguar of Marin Showroom:

This project was a 5000 sq ft showroom for Jaguar. We wanted to highlight the automobiles through a contrast in elements; light versus heavy, smooth versus rough. For example, the rough slate flooring contrasts with the satin anodized aluminum ceilings. The quality of the materials reflects the quality of the car. Likened to the car's dashboard, rich mahogany walls and case goods accent the showroom. The signature color of Jaguar, dark hunter green, is seen in the upholstery. Natural light is used to create and exploit a dramatic effect with the use of Kalwall translucent wall panels.
