Architectural design of a building that looks like the exterior and interior of a classic vehicle, Ford Model T or similar.

Abstract

The idea is an architecture design of a building that looks like exterior and interior of a classic car such as Model “T” or similar. Building to be “x” scale of actual vehicle size. Size of each building will varies based upon the different type, use and size of each project. The floor plan will be with opened ceiling thru the bottom of the vehicle that fits over to allow visitors to see the inside dashboard and seats, seats can be used as an additional 2nd floor seating area. The roof will be similar to actual vehicle top or convertible type with transparent glass roof so visitors can see the sky above. Attached 4 sheets represent front and side elevations of our first project as well as the floor plan. The project consists of drive-thru fast food gas station. Attached project is at 10 scale.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Representation and celebration of history and anniversary of the first car produced on an assembly line in our Detroit area. The Design was to showcase the classic car and to lend it's iconic stature to the use of a building for automobile related services.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

Included are several views of the proposed scaled classic vehicle building both in plan and elevation, representing material and form similar to the original car design and specifications.

FIG. 1 is a Front Elevation view of a building showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a Side Elevation view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a Side Elevation view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a Floor Plan view thereof;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is our idea of how we can utilize a classic car replica on a larger scale as an architectural building for multiple uses of businesses that are car related. The design will be a commercial building that when looking at it from outside you will be looking at a classic vehicle, such as Model T but at much larger scale than the actual vehicle size. And because of the intended use as commercial building, the tires of the car will raise the distance between the bottom of the car and the ground allowing us to close the gap with conventional walls, windows and doors. This enclosed area will allow us to create and configure the floor plan as needed for a specific business. The floor plan will have opened ceiling to allow visitors to look up and see the interior details of that classic car including the dashboard, doors, steering wheel and pedals all at the scale we choose. The interior design will have historical theme centered on the historic Detroit motor city via pictures, newspapers, vehicle parts and equipment. Also, the furniture design will reflect vehicle related and historic items.

Structure Specification:

Body: consists of steel structure covered with glass and welded sheet metals to form and represent the actual vehicle design at a much larger scale (see attached FIGS. 2 & 3). The exterior front will be made of sheet metal around the engine compartment, and the front grill will be made of tented black glass.

Lights (headlamps & sides): Will be made of stainless steel and glass with the original color, and will be functional to be used at night and as desired.

Tires: Will be made of steel rim and wooden spokes, same as original vehicle tires.

Building walls under vehicle body: Will be made of conventional concrete block with same color as surrounding concrete pavement (to blend in).

Ceiling/roof: Will be made of structural glass and conventional roofing material.
