  
Workshop and parts store
The fittings in technical and logistical working
areas of the Autohaus are of a purely functional nature. All the specifications
for these areas are given in the Mercedes-Benz operating resources manual.
The colors of workshop fittings, cobalt blue and basalt gray, have been
chosen for their user-friendliness and blend in perfectly with the overall
concept.
The colors of the shelves in the store match the
architectural concept: the supporting structure is in gray aluminum, the
shelves are galvanized or made of wood, and catwalks and floor grids are
also galvanized.
The uniformity of the design of areas like Sales,
Servicing and the Parts Store is what creates the sense of unity throughout
the Autohaus. Parallels are desirable in this context. The interior design
of the workshop in the Autohaus radiates technical competence and functionality,
and includes some of the features of the showroom design.
ExpressService
The customer area in the ExpressService department
is furnished with CI furniture.
The simplest version of the ExpressService is
incorporated in the workshop as an integrated solution. The interior design
features are the same as those for tile workshop. In the shop-in-shop solution,
the ExpressService area is separated off from the workshop by a glass facade
and a suspended ceiling in the customer area. These and other interior
design elements match those in the other customer areas.
The design elements in the free-standing satellite
solution also follow the same concept.
