BRITISH PARKING AWARDS 2018

The Leeds Victoria Gate Carpark has won the British Parking Awards 2018. The site-specific award recognises outstanding car park design built around UK.
The Leeds Carpark is located in the eastern part of Leeds City Centre, replacing a brutalist 1960s police station by a busy roundabout. 
The façade reinterprets the Victoria Leeds diagrid motive into an open performative skin, providing natural ventilation and daylight while producing a recognizable identity. 
Anodised aluminium fins produce an interplay of light and shadow that appears as a diagonal grid pattern when seen from afar.
