Office Building Car Park with an Automated Vertical Tower

The challenge

A new office building on a narrow city-centre plot had to provide parking for staff and visitors, but a ramped garage would have consumed most of the ground floor.

The solution

An automated vertical tower with a central lift and storage bays on both sides stores 30 cars on two columns of 15 levels. Drivers leave the car in a ground-floor transfer bay; the system measures the car, stores it and returns it on request. The steel structure is clad in glass and perforated panels so the tower reads as part of the facade.
