Collection Care
Controlled‑atmosphere vault - zoned humidity and temperature for concours cars and memorabilia, with oxygen‑reduction or nitrogen‑blanket cabinets for rare tyres, leather and paper ephemera.
VOC and fume extraction ring with CO and NOx sensors and auto‑purge - hidden in the steel portal lines.
Anti‑dust epoxy and conductive flooring in workshop bays for detailing and electronics.
Capacity & Access
Two or four‑post stackers on the pre‑thickened slab bays, with integrated power and drip trays - design already anticipates hoists.
Flush‑track sliding partitions to split the gallery into “display” and “work” zones for events.
Goods lift upgrade to a compact through‑floor platform if someone wants more than the standard dumbwaiter.
Power & Technology
Three‑phase outlets and EV fast‑charge points with smart load balancing.
Camera‑ready lighting grid in the garage for studio‑grade photography and content.
Data backbone - fibre to the rack, ceiling APs, and an AV matrix for race weekends.
Comfort & Refinement
Ducted air with heat‑recovery ventilation to maintain the silence the triple glazing enables.
Acoustic curtains and motorised blinds pre‑boxed into the window heads - the specified headboxes can take dual blinds.
All‑weather deck package with infra‑heaters and wind‑sensor louvres above the west balcony - keeping the deck detailing over the warm roof intact.
