Air conditioning adds to prestige of Peugeot dealership makeover

As part of the prestigious ‘Blue Box’ makeover by Peugeot of the Warwick Wright dealership on London’s Chiswick roundabout, a fully air-conditioned split-level extension has been added to the existing showroom. The site is also the headquarters for the dealership’s fleet sales. It has floor-to ceiling glazing and comprises reception, new-car showroom and offices at ground-floor level. The light and airy showroom includes café-style relaxation for clients and children’s play areas — both aspects of the Blue Box concept. Air conditioning for the ground floor is supplied by a combination of Daikin ceiling-mounted cassette and ceiling-concealed ducted fan-coil units for the offices and 4-way-blow cassettes for the customer sales area. A new fleet sales facility at mezzanine level comprises cellular offices, meeting room, communications room and open-plan marketing and administration area. Conditioned air is via ducted units concealed in the ceiling and ceiling-mounted linear strip diffusers. The secure communications room houses the central control console for the VRV system and is air-conditioned by a Daikin wall-mounted split system. All VRV outdoor condensing units are outside at mezzanine-floor level, along with new air-handling plant that supplies tempered fresh air to the new-car showroom and associated offices on the ground and mezzanine floors. A new covered display area for used cars has been created at ground level, with adjacent offices supplied with treated air via a Daikin heat-reclaim unit.
