Car parks are usually concrete monstrosities. Designing these urban eyesores can prove difficult for even the most talented architect, but this simple and modern parking lot by Altstadt Garage Building by Lussi + Halter is an exception to the rule. The exterior is created by reusing old metal fences that were once lane dividers.
Located in a quiet European city of Luzern, Switzerland the Altstadt Garage Building by Lussi + Halter blends into the historic landscape. It even has a castle view and at night, the building is subtly illuminated.
