Final Reveal: GT Racing Gallery / Trophy Room / Bar / Grand Prix Garage
A 5 year Labor of Love is finally complete!
My Brother Kamran converted a former cinder black laundry room basement into a showcase space:
-Vintage Racing Poster Art Gallery: Le Mans, Brands Hatch, Havana, Monaco
-Trophy Room: Memorabilia of my family's Cars, Races & Travels
-A Racers Bar & Lounge
-Gran Prix Race Deck / Banners Garage / Ford GT
I scoured many iconic racetracks (Laguna Seca, Lime Rock, Monaco, Daytona), Paddock Clubs, & F1 footage of Pilot lounges to capture the spirit, style and speed of Grand Prix & Ford GT40's heritage.
We used materials and design elements from the period:
-wood lockers & cabinets for race gear (& liquor)
-steel, glass & leather
-Mid-century Barcelona inspired Seating & Chairs
-Swank bar pannelled in Gran Cru wine boxes
-Racing books collection.
-GT Bay w. F1 Track Banners
In partnering, we learned alot about each-other: from a Brother's love of hand-built wood craftsmanship, to remembering our old Dad and his love of cars and planes to seeing a project through completion during tough times, as family, budgets and priorities changed.
His Sons pitched in from nailing sheet rock, to laying plywood sheets down, to doing the math, to hanging a walnut plaque from Boeing given to their Grand Father on delivery of a 747.
Three generations; remembered, working hard and dreaming of higher places.
Kamran is the best brother and made this happen through passion & dedication.
A grand vision, family and hard work always take off.
We built our own Winners Circle.https://picasaweb.google.com/Kayvan007/March92013?authkey=Gv1sRgCICmrtWGjIqyMw&feat=email#slideshow/5853383315826269218
