Design Driven: Maserati Competition Announces Winners

As the only automaker in the luxury class that utilizes a master design firm - legendary Pininfarina - Maserati has found there is an affinity between its brand and those who appreciate fine design.

Earlier this year, Maserati and Architectural Digest magazine together invited individuals who appreciate fine design in general and cars in particular to join in a competition titled "Design Driven."

Two categories - Existing and Concept - asked entrants to submit a garage design that included a noted architectural element, uniqueness and individuality, while providing a complementary environment for a Maserati car.

Approximately 125 entrants sent in text, images and illustrations through an online portal.

Winners include Holger Shubert's existing Los Angeles garage, as well as the design of Chris Altman, of Stubbs Muldrow Herin Architects of South Carolina, in the concept category.

"Our goal has been to open a conversation with those who place a premium on design and expose them to the unique qualities of Maserati," commented Mark McNabb, President and CEO of Maserati North America.
