Park-Topped Garages

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Parking Parc' Reimagines the Function of a Garage

— April 12, 2021 — Eco
The conceptual 'Parking Parc' is a reimagined rendering of the humble garage that would transform it into a multifunctional structure within the urban space. The garage is characterized by its ability to perfectly hold an SUV within, but also makes use of the upper exterior area by transforming it into a hillside park. This would provide a small space in congested urban areas for children and families alike to gather, while also featuring solar panels to capture power to charge the electric vehicle parked inside the main structure.

The conceptual 'Parking Parc' has been designed by Tiam Maeiyat for the New Garage Design Challenge from Volvo Cars Canada and the Interior Design Show Toronto in honor of the recently debuted XC40 Recharge.
Trend Themes
1. Multifunctional Structures - Opportunities for designing garages that serve multiple purposes beyond just parking cars.
2. Green Urban Spaces - Integrating green spaces into urban areas, even in small ways, to promote sustainability and community engagement.
3. Solar-powered Parking - Innovating parking structures to generate power through renewable energy sources like solar panels to charge electric vehicles.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - Collaborating with designers and architects to explore new ways of integrating vehicle charging and parking solutions for an eco-friendly future.
2. Architecture & Design Industry - Designing innovative structures that address urbanization, sustainability, and community engagement in new and exciting ways.
3. Renewable Energy Industry - Developing renewable energy solutions, like solar panels, to power innovative structures like the Parking Parc, helping to address climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
