Tiny Hous(ing)

A temporary installation that transforms a single street parking space into a compact inhabitable structure, provoking discussion around housing and public space.Developed for Park(ing) Day Toronto 2025, Tiny Hous(ing) transformed a single street parking space into a compact inhabitable structure, questioning how public space is allocated within the contemporary city. Bruno Belli Bruno Belli Constructed in one day by our team in front of our studio, the installation occupied the footprint of a standard curbside parking spot to highlight the spatial imbalance between the free storage of private vehicles and the growing cost and scarcity of housing in Toronto.

TPS- Tower Parking System

The Tower Parking System allows to park up to 70 vehicles in the space of three. The TPS is definitely the most efficient system when it comes to saving horizontal space and taking advantage of vertical space. The Tower is able to multiply the existing parking capacity more than 20 times, using the footprint of three parking spaces. Towers may be installed one next to the other, one behind the other and in clusters; increasing even more their incredible potential for space optimization.Even though Tower Parking Systems may reach a total of 35 levels, they can also be designed and built in lower configurations to accommodate different height restrictions. It is important to highlight that parking “levels” are lower than - or not as high... More

BDP- Bidirectional Parking System

The versatility of the Bidirectional or “Puzzle” Parking System lies in its modular nature and its capability to expand in all directions (horizontally, vertically and even underground).Depending on the geometry, height restrictions and other characteristics and conditions of the installation area, BDPs my add parking stalls horizontally, stack levels vertically and even create extra stalls underground when combined with pit parking systems. BDPs may also be installed one in front of the other to maximize space usage when depth is an advantage. Bidirectional Parking Systems may be installed outdoors or may be enclosed to protect vehicles, for aesthetics reasons or to merge with the surrounding architecture or city fabric.BDPs may be fu...

Project • By Tengbom • Parks/Gardens

Public Parklet

Tengbom transformed a parking space on Katarinavägen in Stockholm into a neighbourhood node, public meeting place and surface water management during June 2015. The project is an example of green retrofits - strategies for refurbishing grey infrastructure into green infrastructure, and examining what this transformation means for public space. The conversion of parking spaces to community nodes with ecosystem services may be closer than we think. A parklet is a temporary or permanent sidewalk extension that provides more space and amenities for people using the street. Parklets are usually installed on parking lanes and use one or more parking spaces. Launched in San Francisco, California, in 2010, the phenomenon has now spread all over... More
