Construction in Details
Understanding the evolving needs of modern commercial environments, our design approach for the BYD Service Center was guided by a human-centered philosophy—prioritizing spatial flow, user comfort, and long-term functionality. Situated at 186 Vauxhall Street in the heart of Colombo, the project was developed in collaboration with John Keells Holdings, aiming to reflect the brand’s forward-thinking vision while enhancing the day-to-day experience of staff and customers alike.
With an emphasis on clean lines, natural finishes, and ergonomic planning, the design integrates contemporary materials and durable surfaces fit for high-traffic service zones. We drew inspiration from urban minimalism and the principles of biophilic design to subtly promote well-being in a highly technical setting.
- Open Service Bays: Designed for ease of movement, transparency, and efficiency—allowing technicians to work with minimal obstruction while maintaining visual connection with supervisory spaces.
- Ventilation & Lighting: Strategic openings and skylights were introduced to reduce dependency on artificial systems and create a healthier work environment.
- Robust Material Palette: A mix of polished concrete, tempered glass, and industrial-grade steel provides both durability and aesthetic consistency with BYD’s brand identity.
- Client Lounge Experience: Soft textures, warm lighting, and clean-lined furniture were used to create a comfortable waiting area that aligns with the expectations of a high-end automotive brand.
- Smart Integration: Provisions for EV charging systems and future-ready service technology were incorporated seamlessly into the infrastructure layout.
Incredible Result
This project reflects our continued commitment to designing spaces that are not only functional but also mindful of the people who use them every day. The BYD Service Center stands as a testament to thoughtful interior planning in commercial environments—balancing durability with design, and innovation with simplicity.
