A New Site and new Direction for Flow Dealerships
Earlier this fall, Flow Companies was given the opportunity to acquire
the Old Malloy Ford property as a substitute for its current properties
across Richmond Road. This document introduces all four of its clealer-
ships on this completely new site.
Throughout 2019, Flow Automotive, Inc. has been extremely apprecia-
tive of the Albemarle ARB in its guidance for the development of both
the new Audi /Porsche dealerships on 1313 Richmond Road (ARB-2019-
55) and the VW /Mazda dealeships on 1289 Stoneypoint Road (ARB-
2019-47). While having spent a good deal of time this year working
diligently to find the best design solutions for both locations, we always
faced serious limitations on these sites making each less than ideal for
efficient operations. Thus, when Flow was given the opportunity of
acquiring the old Malloy Ford site - across the street from their current
Audi/ Porsche complex - the decision was made to switch gears and
pursue this change of direction. This new address - 1300 Richmond
Road - is comprised of 2 adjacent lots - the old dealership and Service
Building on the east side (TMP 7800-7) and the the Pre -owned building
and majority of parking on the west side (TMP7800-6.)
Flow realizes many advantages with this new site that should also be
a boon to the County and EC. First and foremost, this project would
reutilize a major portion of the existing Malloy site. In keeping the large
Service building, Body Shop as well as re -purposing the Pre -Owned
Building, this redevelopment is a sustainable option in its preservation
and re -use of existing resources. Further, the replacement of the ex-
isting old showroom along Richmond Road with the new Porsche /
Audi complex will result in a much needed renovation of the rambling,
outdated structure. The resulting project will be a fresh, clean design;
bringing about a much improved condition along a very visible stretch
of the Entrance Corridor. The Board will likely recognize the design's
similarities with the previous project across the street that was `condi-
tionally approved' by the ARB this summer
There was much discussion about the limitations of the previous VW /
Mazda corner site: the large electrical easment, difficult access and a
long narrow lot were all features that created problems for future plan-
ning. While we felt the previous design `made the most' of a difficult sit -

The project on the site's East side (Parcel 7800-7) is a renovation and new
addition expansion of the existing Ford complex which will transform the
old empty Ford dealership into a new Flow Audi and Porsche Showroom
and Service Building. While the Service Building block in the rear (not visi-
ble fro the EC) will remain as a renovated full service Automobile garage,
the entire front of the old Ford complex - including showroom and offices
- will be demolished and replaced with a new updated complex; and a
design that should be familiar to the ARB. As with the previously approved
project reviewed earlier this year, this new design is a dealership hybrid -
marrying Audi on the west side with a Porsche Showroom on the east.
The Audi portion of the building picks up from where it left off from the
previously ARB approved but unbuilt design planned for the lot across
the street. The new proposal for the existing building's east (Audi) side is
similar in size and scale to the previous design and it employs a ground
to roof glass wall running across the front facade that one could argue is
contemporary but also having time honored classical elements. In com-
position, one can point to the buildings unadorned glass box as convey-
ing the beauty of simple whole geometry. Further, architectural elements
- such as the repetition of the glass and its repetitive slender vertical
framework - evoke a strength of repetition and subtle rhythm one finds
in more classical buildings. The Audi Entry is an elegant portal within the
front facade. With a reduced palette of materials, a general theme is an
uncluttered minimalism.
Porsche's curved facade is well suited to the new site in how it appro-
priately addresses the corner of Town and Country Road. You will note
in the perspective renderings that this portion of the facade is couched
within the landscape as it is downhill by @ 10-15' from the corner of Rich-
mond Road with Town & Country. One might argue Porsche's form and
massing is a better fit at this new location vs. the previous site.
The Porsche addition keeps the same material palette planned for across
the street; which were revised per the previous ARB process commentary.
These materials are compatible to Audi. The metal canopy complements
the anodized glass frame of the Audi glass wall front and forms a suitable
contrast to the transparency of the glass.
An entire front facade make -over, this project is a major upgrade over
the exisiting out -dated dealership. Pehaps, just as important, from a sus-
tainability perspective, the re -use of this site / building saves resources;
and general goal is to maintain large portions of the site without major

disturbance.
On a building scale, the new showrooms are an improvement to the cor-
ridor in that they will add a crisp fresh design and space filled with plenty
of natural light on the interior. While the new exterior designs maintain
some of the characteristics of each corporate identity, the overriding
intent is to create a cohesive building and one that is in keeping with the
local character and Entrance Corridor Guidelines.
After last year's February 4, 2019 work session and April 15th 2019 Con-
cept Meeting with the ARB for the previous project, both dealerships
made a number of design changes to address the Board comments. We
have maintained these revised architectural elements in this proposal.
These design features include the following: 1. minimizing the drive-th-
ru location which thereby reduces the overall canopy size, 2. reducing
the metal canopy volume and overall building height by removing its
top 4'-0" panel, 3. revised the Porsche storefont glass widths to a 4'-0
module for consistency to the Audi design as well as 4. modifying the
vertical connections of the curtain wall frame in the Porsche central glass
entry - changing from butt joints to anodized frame - to again tie into the
Audi framework and create more overall design consistency and 5. the
columns were enlarged in order create a more solid connection to the
ground.
Again, an important issue in this program is not just looking at either
side in isolation but rather designing a building working as a whole; and
stands on its own merit to be a positive addition to the Entrance Corri-
dor. In this way, a design goal is finding ways creating compositional
unity. We are finding this unity in materiality, overall massing as well in
more focused architectural detail ways. We are proposing a brick siding
for the new building sides; one that takes the place of each corporate
standards materials of cement paneling and black corrugated metal.
Regarding the more general building composition, roof heights were
modified to reflect the sloping grade. On the detail level, more minor
architectural elements were brought into alignment, such as the Porsche
banding pattern with Audi's mid- horizontal frame. Also, defining the
4'-0" glass width lends to this idea of consistency - maintaining a shared
module of the field of glass that ties the two sides together.
While a separation is requested by both dealerships to avoid blending of
branding identities, the central block - a simple recessed wall of minimal
dark gray metal paneling - provides an architectural element that mar-
ries the two styles while creating a pause for transition.

In developing a new identity for this site, both Audi and Porsche look
to create a building that responds to the guidelines for the Entrance
Corridor. While using modern design and materials, the intent is for tak-
ing cues from the scale, texture and detail of the surrounding Entrance
Corridor and the historic precedents of the larger community.
Compatibility with the Character of the Entrance Corridor
The size and scale of this building compares appropriately with the size
and scale of buildings on both sides of the Entrance Corridor. It would
fall into the moderate to large range in comparison to other buildings in
the area and will be the same scale as the existing building.
The Entrance Corridor along US 250 east of Charlottesville at Pantops
represent a diversity of architectural approaches to design and scale.
A good portion of the development along the stretch includes a num-
ber of buildings using different materials and a variety of architectural
styles. The Union Bank and UVA Credit Union buildings use painted
white brick, the Montessori school is a more contemporary design
which use scale, material and texture to accomplish their appropriate-
ness within the district. Toyota has used modern materials to modify its
trademark building to break down the scale of the building down into
section that reflect the historic scale of much more traditional buildings
of the region.
Form, Shape, Scale, and Material Creating a Cohesive Whole
This renovation / addition breaks down the scale of long facade and
create variations on the facade. The Design narrative goes into more
detail regarding how the materiality and detailing help create a more
cohesive whole.
Buildings should relate to their site and surrounding context
The different sides of the new design step down with the natural topog-
raphy; which help it relate more appropriately to the site. Porsche's
rounded eastern corner relate to its corner condition.
Buildings should have a human scale
Both Dealerships provide a strong sense of entry and scaling mecha-
nisms that deal with human scale in that they allow people to relate to
the scale of the complexes in a personal way.

The project on the west side of the old Ford property (Parcel 7800-6)
includes both a new Mazda and VW Dealership. Mazda would occupy
what is currently the old Pre -owned building. Whilerenovating the exist-
ing structure, scope of work would also include 2 new small additions
-one on either side of the buildng - as well as a completely new facade
The VW location was mainly informed by the re -use of the existing pre -owned
building. Given the need for their proximity in creating an efficient site - con-
gregating massing, drive-thru bays and drive thru aisles - the new VW facade
is placed alongside the Mazda complex. In this way, there is an efficiency of
scale created on the site as well as the potential for re -using the already de -
across the building front. The VW will be a completely new building next to veloped parking in the front of the buildings.
Mazda.
The new Mazda will provide all the amenities of a full -service dealership: an
up-to-date showroom with waiting areas and offices, a vehicular drop off
station as well as a new Service Bay Garage in the existing garage below.
Related to the E.C. review, the new Showroom/Service Center will provide
a much -needed upgrade from the existing - a somewhat dated structure.
We see this project as an opportunity to enhance the character of the site
by improving the Site Plan with better organization and improved county
recommended landscaping. And from an architectural standpoint, the
project replaces the existing with a new building that is more suitable to its
prominent location.
The current Mazda design standard is a contemporary style. Subdued with
a simple combination of light and dark metal paneling, the exterior facade
shows enough variety to create and maintain interest but not overly flam-
boyant so as to overwhelm the rest of the character on the 250 corridor.
Large storefront windows are added to the facade which rounds out the
material palette and provides a healthy amount of daylighting for the
interior. Mazda's main design feature - referred to as `the jewel box' - is a
2 story room enclosed in a glass frame that encourages one's gaze on the
outside into the interior environment. This `jewel box' seems an appropri-
ate answer for an addition to the existing building. Its prominent but well
proportioned oversized glass wall is oriented toward a wonderful view and
enhances the importance of its location. Further, the interior wall of the
jewel box is lined with a wood plank the which forms a warm contrast to
the exterior and materially ties into the local vernacular.
The new VW complex will provide the same full -service amenities as Maz-
da. As with Mazda, this particular site layout is advantageous in allowing
for efficient daily operations and a plus for the Entrance Corridor in the way
it limits the visual noise of constant visible moving vehicular traffic on site.

en the impact they will ultimately have in the area. We look forward to working
with the county in providing the best possible design solutions.

In developing a new identity for this site, both VW and Mazda look to
create a building that responds to the guidelines for the Entrance Cor-
ridor. While using modern design and materials, the intent is for taking
cues from the scale, texture and detail of the surrounding Entrance
Corridor and the historic precedents of the larger community.
Compatibility with the Character of the Entrance Corridor
The size and scale of this building compares appropriately with the size
and scale of buildings on both sides of the Entrance Corridor. Clearly,
the Pre -owned converted into Mazda complex maintains the scale
and generally improves the exisitng condition. The VW complex is sim-
ilarly sized and would be considered a moderate sized building along
this corridor; certainly within bounds of the surrounding context. Also
both building designs fit within the variations found on both sides of
the street and one might argue that they bring a high level of detail vs
many other commercial ventures.
Form, Shape, Scale, and Material Creating a Cohesive Whole
Both buildings break down the scale of long facade by introducing a
variations of architectural features.
Buildings should relate to their site and surrounding context
VW is scaled and located to relate the exsiitng pre -owned building.
A priority in this development is for a sustainable re -use of the existing
I(�YiP1[K��
Buildings should have a human scale
Both Dealerships provide a strong sense of entry and scaling mecha-
nisms that deal with human scale in that they allow people to relate to
the scale of the complexes in a personal way.
