Palm Avenue Parking Garage

Overview

The garage is in close proximity to residential properties, thus the exterior facade of metal perforated panels soften the visual impact of this large structure, while suggesting billowing sails of ships. The “sails” allow for natural ventilation and light and shields the vehicles from view. The ground level includes a restaurant and a special events venue.

Features

Completed as a design-build project, the team collaborated to cost effectively deliver on the city’s vision of a parking garage that is suitable to the neighborhood. TLC designed a user friendly, energy-efficient layout and express ramps for garage users, as well as numerous sustainable design features, such as LED lighting, underground retention vault and 600-gallon cistern for rainwater capture, low VOC materials and electric car changing stations.
