This [arched open-air garage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hengqin-culture-and-art-complex) is an aesthetically-pleasing take on the labyrinthine parking garages seen in most cities. An elevator entry brings each car down to the [subterranean lot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park4me), while the ground level of the Curban Parking structure remains clean and unfettered.
