The Urbanarbolismo Benisaudet IVVSA parking garage was created by the Spanish design firm in order to keep the underground lot cooler, as well as improve its air quality. In addition to the parking lot patch, there's also a beautiful courtyard that is shielded from the wind and direct sunlight.
This low-maintenance garden, located in Alicante, Spain, adds a green and healthy touch to the social housing project in Benisaudet IVVSA.
Implications - Not only does it improve the quality of the environment, but it's also aesthetically pleasing. Who wouldn't want to park their car next to a bed of blossoming bluebells? It might even encourage more eco-friendly modes of transportation.
