A 6-story, 435-space parking garage featuring ground floor retail and diverse amenities. At 27,000 SF, this non-traditional parking structure, located in the Warehouse District, features contemporary architecture that complements its historic surroundings while maximizing sustainability.
“I never thought I’d write a thank-you message to architects for the flat-out beauty of a *parking garage*. My wife said it looked like a museum of modern art. The south face as I drive downtown to work is especially striking. Thanks for this great addition to downtown.“
Whereas traditional parking garages take a stacked approach to pre-cast concrete, the structure of the building integrated large pre-manufactured modules to generate a light skin for the building’s facade. In addition to its eye-catching style, the intervention served to simultaneously meet building code requirements, including the 50% open-air ventilation for parking garages.
