Scope Of Work
This 110,000 square foot, completely original, one-of-a-kind facility, located on Route 202 about five miles south of West Chester, PA, is home to Mercedes-Benz of West Chester.
The dramatic showroom, with its 18-foot high coffered ceiling, is fronted by a large expanse of 13-foot high glass panels supported by structural glass mullions, creating a sheer 200-foot long glass wall interrupted only by narrow fieldstone piers. These piers support a dramatic 18-foot cantilevered overhang, the building’s signature form that provides shade for the showroom and creates a proscenium stage for the new vehicles making their "debut" on the curved drive below.
Dever Architects was pleased to have our Mercedes-Benz of West Chester project be named the winner of the 2003 AIA Delaware "Colleague's Choice Award for Recognition of Design Excellence" in the Commercial / Industrial Category.
