The most incredible parking for cars

Among the many different car parks and parking lots there are very unusual, sometimes completely incredible. The most amazing of them can be safely attributed to the masterpieces of architecture.

Parking towers Autostadt (Germany)

A few years ago in the German city of Wolfsburg, the Volkswagen Autostadt industrial park was opened. This is a real city, which has offices, museums, hotels and production sites. The highlight of the park is two large towers, equipped with a state-of-the-art multi-level parking.

Both buildings, depicted on the main photo, have a height of 48 meters and contain 16 floors intended for parking cars. At the same time, to get to the upper levels, you do not need to go on a circular ramp - for these purposes there are special elevators.

1111 Lincoln Road (United States)

Car parking in Miami, designed by the famous studio Herzog & de Meuron, is considered a true masterpiece of modern architecture. For its construction in its time was spent more than $ 70 million.

Multi-level parking complex is designed for tourists who come to rest on the beautiful ocean beaches of Florida. Interesting is the fact that on the upper level of the building there are several luxury apartments, each of which costs several million.

Fietsflat multilevel parking lot (Holland)

Amsterdam is rightly considered the world's cycling capital. Thanks to the efforts of the authorities, cars are getting smaller every year, but fans of two-wheeled transport feel more than comfortable.

It's no wonder that there is simply no road near the railway station, but there is an amazing multilevel bike park Fietsflat. On its three floors can safely accommodate more than two thousand bikes.

House for machine lovers KRE House (Japan)

In 2007, the idea of the famous architect Takuya Tsuchida was realized in Tokyo. This parking is a real cottage for people who really appreciate their cars. After all, hardly anyone else would have agreed to live in a house where there is a car in the middle of the room.

The building was designed so that in the underground garage, designed for several cars, there is a special elevator leading to the living room. Thus, the owner of the car, if desired, can at any time lift his favorite car into the house, to once again admire it.

Green parking "Shinjuku Gardens" (Japan)

In Tokyo, there is another unusual parking lot, which is considered to be "green". The fact is that its walls consist of living bushes and grass.

They not only create an incredibly beautiful parking design, but also act as a natural filter between a polluted street and the interior of a two-level parking lot. Due to this number of green spaces inside the complex, there is always clean air.

Michigan Theater (USA)

In the seventies of last century, when residents of the central part of the American capital of the automobile industry began to move massively to the suburbs, the previously lively metropolis began to rapidly empty. The streets were empty, most of the shops were closed, and skyscrapers were looking at the empty eye sockets of the windows.

Has ceased to exist on purpose and once the famous Michigan Theater in the central part of the huge city. Now this building has been converted into a parking lot for workers of the few remaining companies here. There, where before several thousand spectators were fascinated with theatrical performances, now there are cars waiting for their owners.

Colorful parking Civic Center Parking (USA)

This parking complex is not only one of the most striking buildings in the American city of Santa Monica, but, perhaps, the most colorful garage in the world.

Externally, the parking lot is reminiscent of a modern shopping and entertainment center designed by a professional architect. The facade part of the building is decorated with colorful glass showcases that look great under the bright night lighting.

Another feature of the structure is that the energy for the complex is taken from the solar panels located on the walls and roof. This is the world's first parking lot, which uses energy-saving technologies.

"Book Parking" in Kansas (USA)

This car park is located near the Kansas City Public Library building. Outwardly, the building is decorated with a huge shelf, on which are twenty-two books with works by famous authors. In fact, behind these walls are hidden not reading rooms, but several levels for parking.

Parkhaus Engelenschanze (Germany)

At first glance, this glass building in the center of the German city of Münster looks more like a modern office center, a comfortable hotel or a commercial building. In fact, all seven floors of the building are designed for parking cars.

There are 360 cars in the Parkhaus Engelenschanze. In addition to parking, there is a small winter garden with real trees, where motorists can have a wonderful rest and relax after nervous driving over crowded city streets.

"Sinking" parking Sinking Ship (USA)

Among the main attractions of the American city of Seattle, almost all tourists call the 38-story skyscraper Smith Tower. Built in 1914, it is one of the oldest high-rise buildings in the US.

But next to the skyscraper there is another building that attracts attention of the guests of the city. This is an unusual parking, which was nicknamed the "Sinking ship".

The multi-level parking complex is designed in such a way that it seems that the building has almost completely collapsed under the ground. Only the corner of the building remained in sight, which sticks out of the asphalt like the nose of a sinking ship.

Underground parking in the Garagenatelier hill (Switzerland)

In a small Swiss town of Herderne, the problem with parking spaces was solved in a very unusual way. Inside the small hill, the Garagenatelier underground complex was built.

Entrance and exit from the parking lot is located on one side of the hill, while on the other there are several glass showcases giving this place a truly fabulous view.

Individual underground parking in the garden from Cardok

The company "Cardoc" introduced a revolutionary technology of parking in places where in normal conditions there is no place for this. With its help, you can combine a garage and, for example, a garden or a children's playground.

"Cardok" is an underground garage, a car in which is placed by means of a special elevator. The roof of the building in its time can serve as part of a lawn or garden, playground or gazebo. Parking is to lift the roof and lower the car to the underground part of the elevator.

Another advantage of this technology is absolute protection against theft. After all, the thief can not even imagine that under the beautiful bushes the expensive car is safely hidden.
