Olsen Cadillac Woburn, MA
The renovation and expansion of this 30,500 SF, thirty year old Cadillac dealership, was a Design/Build effort done in concert with Seaman Bratko Corporation of Holliston, MA.
Utilizing General Motors’ design criteria, the existing facility received a new showroom, sales offices, a customer lounge, and Cadillac’s showpiece Arts & Sciences Center. Custom millwork was designed for the new retail sales and parts display area. The second floor addition houses offices for the administrative and executive staff, a large conference room, and a dedicated training center. The exterior of the building has been completely renovated and is clad in custom rock cast masonry. Barry Ganek, AIA LEED-AP Architect of Record Ganek Baer Architects, Inc.

Boch Motors "New To You" Facility Norwood, MA
Ganek Architects was approached by the Boch Motor Group to submit a design for a new sales and service facility for their prior owned automobile facility on Route 1 in Norwood, MA. The client had asked for a striking, visually exciting design that would clearly stand out to the viewer as they sped by at high speed on the heavily traveled commercial strip of Route 1. The design aesthetic took strong queues from mid 20th century Art Deco commercial design.
Norwood Village Cadillac Norwood, MA
The objective of this complex project was the modernization of the existing Cadillac showroom, plus design and construction of a new, adjacent Hummer showroom. Both projects needed to meet corporate design criteria.
Cadillac
At the owner’s request, the linear design of GM’s Cadillac Retail Environment Program was integrated with the graceful, circular shape of the existing showroom. Upgrades to the facade with GM approved materials and detailing met all corporate requirements in order to qualify for program incentives. Contemporary interior finishes in the showroom and customer waiting area create a relaxed ambiance. Redesigned work spaces for sales and administrative staff complete the transformation of a 1960’s facility into a 21st century contemporary environment.
Hummer
Existing site conditions for the Hummer showroom required significant modification of GM’s conceptual design. Situated on a major 4-lane highway leading into Boston, the new building is positioned to sit parallel to the road, providing maximum exposure to highway traffic. It obscures an unsightly brick wall previously visible from the road while maintaining the maximum amount of vehicle storage in the outdoor lots. Additional changes to GM’s concept design enhanced vehicular circulation and client parking, translating to considerable cost savings for the owner.
