    :: Phase.1 DIRECTIVE: win the sponsor
    ·· veteran IndyCar driver Scott Sharp called in a mild panic: he was headed to Las Vegas to make a pitch to Patrón corporate - he was changing IRL teams [ from Delphi Fernandez ] and needed to secure a main sponsorship for his new ride with Rahal Letterman [ Patrón was then an associate sponsor of team Delphi Fernandez ] and had nothing to tantalize them with ...
... the concept, design and renderings [ including custom modeling ] were conceived and completed with minimal verbal-only art direction in less than 30 hours - Scott hopped a plane, successfully presented the pitch, brought Patrón on-board and then flew to Kansas to drive the Kansas Lottery Indy 300... phew!!!
   
    :: Phase.2 DIRECTIVE: "Make it unique!!."
    ·· an innovative and never-before-used [ in a motorsports paddock ] design that features a single POD [ 40' long x 8' wide x 9.5' tall shipping container ] - [ front Patrón Silver product box is not an add-on ] - everything in the build is packed within the POD and subsequently delivered to the site, intact, by landoll trailer...
... the POD rear houses an industrial generator - all electrical, HVAC, sound, satellite/communication and related support systems are self-contained
·· Club Patrón's exterior features a grand 20' tall x 16' wide entrance, an observation deck including foldable [ for traveling] knee walls with drink rails, umbrellas and spiral stair; a trapezoidal overhead canopy, open-air cafe tables, 42" plasma, driving simulator, large bar with catering facilities and billboard-size hanging banner walls
·· the metro-modern sleek interior features faux-granite tile, silver walls, overhead lighting, a state-of-the-art entertainment system, black leather couches and matching chairs, 42" plasma and a private office for Scott to conduct his business on the road
·· highlight feature: a true-to-life, 6'-7" tall Patrón Silver bottle - the work-of-art resin bottle is an exact replica in every detail, from the ribbons and cork to the labeling and unique quality of the "glass"...
... at each race, celebrities, drivers, etc. sign the bottle and at the end of the racing season Patrón will auction off the bottle for charity
·· no agency was involved in any facet of the project - pbeach and the fabricator handled all logistical aspects of the tour
·· pbeach supervised and managed the fabrication process from beginning to end... a 2 1/2 month saga - the fabricator relied heavily on the 3d renderings throughout the construction
·· concept / component / model types + layout positions, branding signage, exterior/interior design decisions and color treatments were left to pbeach imagination and creativity
    ·· 3d components modeled in 3ds Max
