Veranda

The Veranda car park is designed around an open, nine-level void, ensuring an abundance of daylight and fresh air at every level. The nine levels consist of four parking levels each above and below ground, with the two parking sections sandwiching a ground floor lined with restaurants and shops.

Spiral routing

The layout of the facility is designed for convenience and is both simple and efficient. From sloping runways in the middle of the trapezium-shaped floor plan, cars move in a spiral upwards or downwards around the centre. Parking space is arranged both along the outer walls and beside the central open area. The parking levels are accessible to pedestrians via a staircase and a panoramic glass lift that ascends from the void in the central open area.

A façade designed to admit daylight and fresh air

The facade is composed of horizontal strips of aluminium, alternated with narrow strips of mirrored glass. The aluminium strips are of our own design, and feature folded and perforated panels for ventilation and light. The glass and aluminium panels are contained in extruded aluminium mouldings, which we also designed specifically for this project. The facade acts as a diffusion screen, admitting daylight into the car park while offering its users a fragmented view of the outside world. And at night, it admits ambient outdoor light, which makes the building glow like a massive lantern.
