The Autopark proposal is a unique and innovative approach to designing a space that serves multiple purposes, namely a car park and a garden that acts as a sound barrier to reduce noise from the nearby Pomona Freeway. The residential floors are divided into two grid systems, providing both communal and individual spaces for multigenerational families on the ground floor and individuals transitioning from homelessness on the second floor. The design approach emphasizes inclusivity and community, while the use of sustainable materials and construction methods ensures the project is environmentally friendly.
