Connected Car
Architecture firm Daniel Statham Studio has designed a vertical car park in central Hangzhou, China, where cars are stacked using a fully automated lift system. Named Future Car Park, the building is located in the city's central business district and has a capacity of 500 cars. The car park is comprised of a series of circular towers that grow upwards and expand into a connected roof. The car park is equipped with an advanced automated parking system, which covers the entire parking journey, from drop-off to parking and pick-up. More car park designs include MoLo by Chinese studio MAD in Milan featuring plants and polished-metal staircases, as well as a prefabricated multi-storey car park in Montevideo, Uruguay, topped by a courtyard garden and rooftop terrace.
