1 Collective ambition: Automotive 1

2 Specialist knowledge: design solutions that work 2

3 In 1984 we opened the doors with our first project, a new building for an independent Christian school at Regents Park. This project set the tone: clients who needed specialist advice to satisfy particular needs and who (often) had tight budgets. Over time our education clients expanded because we were regarded as providing services that were empathetic with client requirements. We had a desire to assist with their particular needs but we also brought specialist knowledge and hence designed solutions that worked. We came to understand that specialisation, a particular knowledge of particular areas, was imperative if we wished to provide our clients with appropriate advice. While we now have various industry segments that we service, we do so with specialist, industry specific in-house expertise in those areas. Whether it be Education, Aged Care, Social Housing, Automotive or Churches, we have a team of people who understand the specific requirements of that segment. Industry knowledge is important and so is empathy with and for the client. We are a client focused organisation and we have developed an approach for interacting with our clients to ensure that their vision and requirements for their project is identified and realised. We call this collective ambition and you can read more on this later in the booklet. 3

4 Our approach to design: collective ambition 4

5 This concept of collective ambition embodies our collaborative approach to project design from concept to completion. We want to ensure that the project, when delivered, satisfies the requirements of our client. 5

10 Client: Phil Gilbert Hyundai Type: New showroom and basement parking Budget: $3.85m Status: Completed Completion date: October 2014 Phil Gilbert Hyundai The Phil Gilbert Hyundai dealership consists of a new showroom and basement parking on Parramatta Road in Sydney, NSW. Stanton Dahl has collaborated with the client throughout the Phil Gilbert Hyundai project. Meetings were held at various stages to ensure the development complied with both the brands standards and the client s requirements. The new showroom successfully showcases and promotes the new Hyundai corporate identity. Providing a strong brand statement and a commanding presence on one of Sydney s major roads was the main focus of the Phil Gilbert Hyundai project. With prime exposure to the busy Sydney road, the two storey showroom stands out to customers as they approach the dealership from either direction. The visibility of the showroom is further enhanced by an exposed feature display space, reaching out towards the street for promoting selected cars. An angled facade aims to draw the attention of the passing trade from both directions to maximise the showroom exposure with the complex feature Hyundai cladding giving the showroom a presence amongst other dealerships. Stanton Dahl has delivered a showroom that upholds the brand name with sophistication and class, ensuring the exposure to the potential clientele is positive and stands out amongst its competitors. Phil Gilbert Hyundai was a new client that has now approached Stanton Dahl on subsequent projects, valuing the success and standards of the projects as well as the collective response to the clients needs. 10

12 Client: Brighton Honda Type: Alteration to existing showroom Budget: $720,000 Completion date: January 2014 Brighton Honda Honda Australia is currently implementing an updated external CI across the network. The striking feature Red Wall creates an easily recognisable brand statement through the use of colour and scale. Stanton Dahl worked closely with Honda throughout the development of this project, with regular site visits and a collaborative approach to not only the Brighton project, but all projects within the Honda roll-out. Brighton Honda features a large new feature red wall with associated signage that increases the exposure of the dealership to passing trade. The red wall element enhances the Honda brand statement and was developed in conjunction with Stanton Dahl as a new corporate identity item along with the louvre and feature entry elements. Alterations at Brighton were completed whilst the showroom remained open for trading. The project has addressed the location by using visual elements to draw the attention of the passing trade and take full advantage of the close proximity to the busy street.

The new glass-and-steel structure successfully compliments the two brands, bringing the sophistication and class of a city dealership to our rural clients. A glazed office space overlooks the showroom, which has received a positive response from the client as it provides views of the showroom as well as an adjacent dealership across the road also owned by Woodleys. Working collaboratively with the client, Stanton Dahl have delivered an eye catching showroom that cleverly provides dedicated display space for both Skoda and Volvo within the local network of Woodleys dealerships.
