In this concrete block garage, the materials speak for themselves. The shape and openings are simple and to the point, a direct reflection of the building material and its modular nature. The showroom has a light steel framed canopy that shades the glass. Throughout, the block remains intact as both the skin and the structure of the building. The building achieves interest and decoration through the pattern of the blocks and through the contrast in materials used next to the blocks.
