According to Curbed, the multi-colored, eco-friendly structure, dubbed Parking Structure 6, was designed by Studio Jantzen and Behnisch Architekten, and its amenities read more like those of a luxury residence than car storage.

The 744-spot garage, which opened last week, features, eight-stories, panoramic ocean views, electric vehicle charging stations, ground floor retail space and solar panels – not to mention cutting-edge architecture reminiscent of Paris’s Centre Pompidou. [Curbed] –Christopher Cameron
