ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
Functionally, the garage operates as a multi-layered civic object within a private domain. The ground floor serves as a luminous gallery for vehicles, directly accessible from the driveway. The upper terrace supports physical activity, while the subterranean level accommodates wellness and administrative functions. Circulation between these layers is intuitive and experiential, guided by the building’ s sculptural logic.
Designed with minimal site disruption, the project exemplifies a sensitive approach to development in ecologically valuable areas. Its compact footprint, underground expansion, and tree-preserving layout demonstrate how architecture can coexist with mature woodland without compromise.
ATRIUM’ s sculptural gallery-garage, set within a forest reserve, has been selected as a finalist of the World Architecture Festival 2025 in two categories: Completed Buildings – Transport and the Small Project Prize.
Large glazed facades with ultra-thin profiles on the north and south dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape, reinforcing the project’ s integration with nature. The seamless white Corian envelope articulates the automotive design metaphor, evoking aerodynamic surfaces and precision engineering, while interior accents in wood and copper introduce warmth and tactility.
