Southfield Chrysler-Jeep
Southfield, Michigan

Being a highly successful dealership and familiar 12 Mile/Telegraph landmark for many years, Southfield Chrysler-Jeep has undergone an “Extreme Makeover”.  In an effort to enhance and improve their facility for customer enjoyment and brand recognition, Dorchen/Martin Associates, Inc. was commissioned to upgrade customer accessibility and dramatically transform their present interior and outdoor display areas.  The resulting renovation design includes a new monumental entry feature, two outdoor covered display areas and a 21^st century showroom that features a state-of-the-art furniture and brand display system by Knoll.

Sleek horizontal canopy bands, an impressively dramatic brushed aluminum paneled entry and polished metal accents are just a few of the design elements that have made Southfield Chrysler-Jeep the newest “polished gem” in their commercial neighborhood.  

Bear Hill Chrysler
Waltham, Massachusetts

Originally a research and testing facility, this wedge shaped masonry building has come a long way to become a Chrysler Corporation Auto Dealership.

Taking full advantage of its location beside a major freeway, the existing building has been transformed, through the addition of a dramatic glass showroom as well as modifications to the interior, into the eye-catching centerpiece of a full-service automotive facility

Crestwood Dodge
Garden City, Michigan

Crestwood Dodge had undergone an extensive building program several years ago with an innovative 20,000 sf Service Department and Write-Up Reception addition. The latest in technology and design was incorporated into the addition to challenge the 90's product line and continue to improve the Customer Satisfaction Index.

The recent Showroom Renovation completes a total dealership transformation from the standard 25-year-old Chrysler facility.

Sophistication, elegance and openness were the design goals to achieve - SUCCESS!

Woodhaven Chrysler-Jeep

This new dealership was the first Chrysler 2000 series concept to be designed and constructed in the metropolitan Detroit region.

The dramatic two-story showroom, retail parts boutique, customer waiting, business center and18 service bays and related parts department combine efficiently and attractively to comfortably serve both the customer and staff.
