Brooklyn studio Office of Tangible Space<\/a> has converted a former warehouse in Brooklyn<\/a>, USA, into a community hub that provides “a new kind of venue for automotive culture”.<\/p>\n

In Brooklyn’s East Williamsburg neighbourhood, Car Part Time<\/a> is housed within a 2,000-square-foot (186-square-metre) hangar that Office of Tangible Space<\/a> (OTS) has reimagined as both a car showroom and a social hub.<\/p>\n

\"CarAt Car Part Time, a mustard yellow curtain softens the concrete walls and flooring<\/p>\n

A rotating display of vintage automobiles \u2013 which are all for sale from the licensed dealers \u2013 sits amongst furniture for co-working, gathering and event programming.<\/p>\n

“OTS has transformed the industrial space into a social environment through carefully layered materials, vintage lighting, and moments of tactile detail referencing automotive design,” said the studio.<\/p>\n

\"AA walnut listening station and bar is stocked with vinyls curated by Freakout Spot<\/p>\n

The building’s garage-style doors were retained, both for vehicle access and to allow for events to spill outdoors in warm weather.<\/p>\n

Full-height mustard curtains soften the concrete walls and flooring, while the industrial ceilings and ductwork were left exposed to lean into the autobody shop aesthetic.<\/p>\n

\"AA slender work counter is accompanied by William Katavolos’ T-chairs<\/p>\n

A custom walnut listening station and bar with sage inlays sits at the centre, with a vinyl curation by Hudson Valley record store Freakout Spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Against a wall, a slim work counter is paired with T-chairs by William Katavolos and a custom OTS coat rack.<\/p>\n

\"AA lounge area includes a custom bar cart modelled on a Alvar Aalto design and a coffee table resembling a car grille<\/p>\n

Another counter is topped with dark green-toned avocatus quartzite and protrudes into the space, creating a bar for serving drinks or a workspace as needed.<\/p>\n

The same stone is used for the bathroom vanity, which also features a pair of floating walnut drawers, below a semi-spherical mirror.<\/p>\n

From the ceiling hang a series of pendant lights from the SUNY Albany campus, designed by Edward Durell Stone in 1962.<\/p>\n

A seating area introduces pops of yellow and tan through upholstery across the Hay<\/a> sectional and Percival Lafer lounge chairs.<\/p>\n

\"BathroomDark green avocatus quartzite forms counters in the main space and the bathroom<\/p>\n

A bar cart created by OTS is a tribute to modernist architect and designer Alvar Aalto<\/a>, while a coffee table by Thomas Gayet resembles a car grille.<\/p>\n

“The result is an aspirational yet approachable setting \u2013 part gallery, part lounge \u2013 designed for car enthusiasts and the car-curious alike,” said the studio.<\/p>\n

\"AThe garage-style door opens for both vehicle access and to allow events to spill outdoors<\/p>\n

Office of Tangible Space was founded by Michael Yarinsky and Kelley Perumbeti, who design both interiors and objects from offices in Brooklyn and San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The studio has also completed the redesign of the Brooklyn Museum Cafe<\/a> and a dance studio with the “highest poles in New York City”<\/a>.<\/p>\n
