In Amsterdam, XVW architectuur have designed a community parking garage in Buiksloterham, a new residential district in the north of the city. The structure offers space for 250 vehicles, helping to free up the streets for events, food markets and other civic activities. Parkeergarage A1 features a simple layout with a number of commercial uses on the ground floor to ensure an even more lively street level. The industrial facade features a perforated steel mesh diagrid pattern, lending the building a playful, sculptural appearance, while letting in natural light to the multi-storey car park.
