Bold Geometry and Branded Design at National Autobody Fort Worth
Architecture and commercial interiors photography for Bennett Partners
National Autobody in Fort Worth, Texas, isn’t your average repair facility. Designed by Bennett Architects, this space brings a distinctly modern, industrial aesthetic to an industry known more for function than form. From the moment you approach the exterior, the red accents against a backdrop of clean silver-gray cladding signal a brand-forward identity.
Inside, bold gestures continue. A sweeping staircase anchors the main lobby, flanked by open office workstations and polished concrete floors. The dynamic geometry of red light fixtures and wall elements creates visual momentum, guiding your eye across every space with intention. Pops of glossy black and red energize break rooms, reception areas, and even the boardroom, where linear red ceiling panels create rhythm and contrast.
The use of perforated metal along the stair rails and upper walkways reinforces the industrial edge while still feeling refined and thoughtfully detailed. Throughout, natural light floods the interiors, bouncing off white walls and polished floors to create an environment that feels professional, airy, and purpose-built.
As architectural photographers, we focused on capturing the movement and energy in these spaces—from the repetitive geometry of the stair railings to the play of red against steel and white. National Autobody is a bold reminder that even utilitarian spaces can inspire through great design.
