Materials and Colors Back to Interior		*Columns and column heads* The columns mark out and define the outdoor area in front of the facade. Inside the building these structural elements are picked out in color in areas which emphasize the design.
	*Facade system* The subdivided structure of the facade generates visual interest. It consists of glass panes of different sizes and shapes with integrated wall sections in a colored plasterwork finish. A technical effect is created by the pattern of mullions and transoms. The actual design is not stipulated, and there is a choice of steel or aluminium for the glazing bars.
		*Showroom and customer areas.* The showroom in the Autohaus and the integrated customer areas are the most important areas where our customers encounter the standard image and identity of the brand. The choice of materials and colors is closely linked with the architectural and interior design features and enhances their overall impact.
	*Ceiling* Ceilings are characterized by tile visible frame. Suspended ceilings are used in certain places.
		*Office areas* The choice of materials and colors in the office building is intended to create a businesslike but friendly working environment which corresponds to the current working guidelines. The material and color details given below apply to all functional areas of the Autohaus.
	*Wall sections* The wall sections provide contrast and definition in the glass facade.
		*Frame* The most important visual elements of the frame and grid system are standardized as coherent design elements. Tile entire frame is made of steel or steel plate so as to emphasize the filigree yet technical look of the building.
	*Sun blinds* Exterior sun blinds protect against overheating; translucent interior blinds protect against glare.
		*Main entrances* The main entrance to the Autohaus is designed as an open portal integrated into the facade with an extended fixed-ended canopy with glazing above and below. The main entrance element is given extra height so that it is clearly visible even from a distance. The design emphasizes both the contrast between the features of the entrance and the facade and its integration into the overall concept of the facade.
	*Internal walls and columns* The interplay between neutral and bright shades inside the Autohaus gives it its characteristic brand image and appearance. Color accents are used alongside the more neutral principal background colors.
		*Workshop and parts store* The interior design of these areas stresses their technical, competent functionality. The standard designs in the sales, servicing and parts areas help to create tile standard look of the Autohaus.
