A prestigious new home for luxury car brands

Located on the city fringe, 1 Main North Road is the new home of luxury car brands Porsche Centre Adelaide and BMW Medindie.

In 2022, Sarah Constructions was selected to deliver an extensive staged refurbishment of this prime site, architecturally designed to reflect the luxury status of the Porsche and BMW brands.

The Porsche space includes the refurbishment of two buildings: transforming a building space into a high-end car showroom with amenities, office spaces and customer lounges, and an extensive upgrade to the existing service workshop, including new floors and wall finishes, services and lighting.

 

 

In parallel, the BMW space has undergone recoating of the workshop floors and walls, with a section of the workshop transformed into a high-end showroom with office spaces and amenities, and construction of a new service building.

The workshops feature state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure, not previously installed in South Australia, and Sarah’s team formed relationships with equipment suppliers to meet rigorous quality assurance requirements.

To ensure both facilities remained operational during works, Sarah’s team took a highly collaborative and approach to planning and delivery, remaining flexible to successfully manage design challenges and latent conditions as they arose.

This project demonstrates Sarah’s ability to work within operational and constrained environments, to deliver high-end results for premier clients.  

Partnering with Sarah on the new BMW and Porsche complex in Medindie has demonstrated their capability to successfully deliver a complex renovation project within an operational site. Their early design input showcased a keen understanding of our vision, and their commitment to open communication ensured a smooth collaboration throughout the project.

Their innovative solutions and proactive problem-solving demonstrated a dedication which surpassed our expectations. Their eagerness to assist and transparent communication made the entire construction process a positive experience for both myself and the client.
