Advance Auto Parts

Ryan delivers on design performance, schedule and budget
Advance Auto Parts is a leader in the automotive aftermarket with 3,300 retail stores nationwide. Having recently moved into new corporate offices, Advance Auto Parts wanted to renovate the existing space to be more reflective of its values and culture. Ryan’s interior designers developed a design that reflected Advance Auto’s brand — from architectural elements that evoke speed and movement to the color palette of red, blacks, gray and yellows. The employee’s workstations, break rooms and boardroom are characteristic of a car shop where tools hang from the walls.

The existing building has floor-to-ceiling windows and a three-story atrium. By eliminating much of the interior walled offices, the entire space is flooded with natural light. Designers incorporated an energy-efficient, waste-free carpet system with recycled backing as well as polished some of the existing concrete floors, taking advantage of an existing design feature.
