Audi Le Mans

Under the sign of motorsport

Once a year, 50 cars race in a circle for 24 hours at Le Mans in France. For entertainment - and of course for refuelling - we were allowed to design a pop-up restaurant right next to the track for several years in a row. With the Audi Racing Garden, we have countered the hot tar with a cool curve. In keeping with the prize for sustainability, which paradoxically also exists at this car race, the restaurant concept draws on the full in terms of its materiality and reusability - after we had already given it the little finger with the basic structural form as an energy curve.

Temporary architecture

A chance to slow down when you need it most: we have created a green oasis which, for three years running, has become a major attraction alongside the racing action. Untreated wood, a varied selection of plants and light-coloured furniture come together to form a temporary setting that brings a sense of calm to the dynamic atmosphere of the event. Clean, minimalist forms create a deliberate contrast to the fast pace and pressure to perform – a place to settle in, take a deep breath and linger.
