The main concern in the design of the complex is to create a unity of these various buildings, under Mercedes image, without making comprimise of their operations and with a correct hierarchy. Simple but strong geometric forms are used as complementary elements of a system. A limited variety of materials are used with plain expressions. Brick cladding, ceramic tiling, copper roof finishing, timber roof structure are selected as both traditional but contemporary materials, to signify Mercedes image. It is aimed to make cultural references with the color and texture arrangement of finishings. The Project was designated as a nominee to the Aga Khan Architectural Awards in 2002. The complex , consists of multipurpose hall, administration building, restaurant, service workshops, training building, warehouse for spare parts.
