Concept

This car park with 193 spaces was built on top of an existing ground-floor car park. The existing car park's walls were used as foundation columns for the new car park. The car park's load-bearing structure is constructed entirely from steel. The columns were positioned so that they do not obstruct parking on the ground-floor level.

The entrance and exit to the new car park were positioned next to those of the existing underground car park. The roof of the car park was finished using sand-coloured mastic asphalt. This gave the large parking area a natural effect and allowed it to blend in well with the Platanendreef. A fine stainless steel mesh was suspended around the steel load-bearing structure. The mesh provides a subtle screen between the parked vehicles without creating a massive, monolithic look and feel.
