Commissioned by Dick Lovett, the official Porsche dealer for South Wales, the high-tech facility will be the company's largest building to date in its portfolio.
The 7000m2 curve-fronted space has been designed by Pier Architecture and will feature a two-storey, glass-clad and porcelain-floored car showroom as well as a comprehensive and state-of-the-art workshop.

The showroom will have space for 48 cars and the workshop 23 cars. A car lift is being installed to move cars quickly and easily to the first floor of the showroom.
Solar panels on the composite roof will aid powering the building. EV chargers will also be fitted.
Track lighting and spot lights will provide atmosphere and emphasis in the showroom, while the exterior cladding will incorporate red strip lighting, which will have a striking and unique 'night-time mode'.
Beard is currently clearing and levelling the greenfield site on the Celtic Springs business park ready for stone piling and the erection of the building’s steel frame at the end of May. The project is due to be completed by the end of February 2024.
