Insulindeplein parking garage

The Insulindeplein parking garage has two entrances/exits and a waiting area. Upon entering, the driver places the car above ground on a lift platform. A scan verifies that the car is properly parked and that there are no other people in the entrance/exit area. Only then does the car lift lower the car underground, hand it over to the automatic parking system, and place it in its parking space. The car can be called in the waiting area or online, and then it follows the opposite path, with the lift turning the car around so that people can drive forward out of the entrance/exit.

Efficient parking solution

Thanks to the advanced parking machine, substantial underground building space, a 24/7 security guard, and energy savings can be achieved, as permanent ventilation and lighting are no longer required. By parking in a transparent space above ground, public safety is also increased, and damage or contamination of parked cars is minimized.

Dynamic architectural volume

To further enhance the sense of security, the above-ground entrance boxes and waiting area are housed in a transparent, minimalist, rectangular glass volume. The glass facade is printed with silver, light-reflecting vertical stripes. These reflective stripes ensure that the building is transparent from within, preventing the space from heating up due to solar radiation. The reflection creates a dynamic architectural volume that playfully interacts with the surroundings. The underground parking garage enhances social security and the quality of the public space.
