Parking garage »EnergieParkhaus«:
A Candid Wayfinding-System

Signage for EnergieParkhaus Neckarpark, a parking garage in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, designed by ‘asp’ Architekten. The parking garage serves the residents as a paring garage for cars and bikes. That leads the parking garage having five floors and space for 344 vehicles. It also ensures the heat supply of the new neighbourhood via an integrated energy center. In sum, the distinctive shell of the building, we chose a prominent design solution that was applied directly to the various surfaces of the building.
