GRANBURY, TX

The design of the MAC Performance building was to help the business advertise its services for truck performance, repair, and maintenance. Borrowing from the concept of air flow in vehicle exhaust pipes - as air heats up, it collects under the higher portion of the roof - the design seeks to facilitate both vehicle exhaust and hot air exhaust high in the space. The project included requirements for a variety of vehicle maintenance bays, office and waiting areas, and restrooms. In the winter, the polycarbonate glazing allows the low-altitude sun to passively heat the truck bays anad minimize energy use. The resulting design is both eye-catching and functional, and it allows the bays to stay cool during summer months without mechanical cooling.
