Retail: Our Renault car dealership building in Madrid opens

Opened on March 17th, this competition win by Chapman Taylor was to create a high impact building for one of Renault’s leading car dealerships in Spain.

The dealership, located on the ‘A1’ road into Madrid, is on one of the busiest traffic routes in Spain. Every day, about 160,000 vehicles passed the existing and unmemorable Renault car dealership building.   Our new building design is based on the Renault brands composition of colours, logo, and vehicle shape. 

The new dealership is now recognisable and memorable as a building  - even at a casual glance as people pass by travelling on the motorway.
