Doug Justus Auto Center Chooses Jenkins & Stiles and Studio Four Design for Development of New Dealership Facility
Three Knoxville based companies collaborate to deliver modern design to the Airport Motor Mile
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Doug Justus Auto Center, Inc., a Knoxville-based automotive dealership with a focus on providing quality pre-owned vehicles at a fair price has officially completed an all-new 4,680 sq. ft. automotive center. In partnership with Jenkins & Stiles, LLC, one of Knoxville's top leading full service construction companies and Studio Four Design, a top architecture and design firm, the new modern-designed automotive dealership center is now open to the public.
The automotive facility began construction in April and is conveniently located on Alcoa Highway at 872 Mimosa Heights Dr. in Louisville, Tennessee. The layout and design elements produced by Studio Four Design, were created with a focus on the automotive customer. The new facility differentiates itself from traditional pre-owned automotive dealers by providing a contemporary interior and exterior design similar to the approach that many new, modern auto dealerships have embraced. The center provides a state-of-the-art showroom, a comfortable and inviting lounge space for customers that offers stations for web browsing the auto inventory, and brand new staff offices.
"The process of collaborating with Studio Four Design and Jenkins & Stiles on the building design and construction was flawless," said Doug Justus, president & CEO of Doug Justus Auto Center. "Their commitment and dedication to our project demonstrates why they are so reputable in their industries."
"We had two clear messages for Doug – attract customers and reflect the Doug Justus brand," said Stacy Cox, president of Studio Four Design. "Adapting this vision to trends in the automotive industry helped us better translate the design to Doug's target audience. Modern, simple designs resonate with customers at automotive centers, so we incorporated that style into the floor plan design and interior space. We truly worked as partners to bring to life the vision Doug had for the new space."
Studio Four Design and Jenkins & Stiles delivered a space with intuitive design that is furnished in a modern, yet functional fashion. The illuminated red letters against the bright yellow custom canopy at the front of the building fits the sleek design of the space and reflects the established Doug Justus brand. In addition to its eye-catching exterior design, the automotive center features a state-of-the-art interior, making use of natural light and modern interior design.
"We stand by our primary value that the customer comes first," said Bart Jenkins, president of Jenkins & Stiles, LLC. "Working collaboratively with Doug and the Studio Four team in this partnership helped us construct a building that not only met Doug's expectations for design and quality, but was also delivered within his requirements for budget and schedule."
Additional support for the project was provided by Prosim Engineering, as structural engineer; West, Welch, Reed Engineers, Inc., as mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers; and Camel Canvas, as developer of the custom canopy.
