Automated Parking Systems (APS) are no longer just a developer’s tool — they are a design asset. When integrated early in the architectural process, APS can free up valuable space, simplify circulation, and eliminate many of the architectural compromises caused by conventional parking structures.
Rather than designing around ramps, wide aisles, or vehicle turning radiuses, APS allows you to approach parking as a compact, modular system. With WVIP’s advanced parking technology, you gain:
- Up to 60% reduction in parking footprint
- Greater flexibility in site layout and function
- Easier integration into tight or irregular lots
- Improved pedestrian and retail-facing facades
Key Benefits of APS for Architects
1. Design Freedom, Not Constraints
Say goodbye to awkward layouts, oversized ramp systems, and lost square footage. APS solutions fit seamlessly into tight, narrow, or unusually shaped spaces — underground, at grade, or even on rooftops.
Perfect for:
- High-density urban infill sites
- Mixed-use developments
- Luxury residential towers
- Adaptive reuse and heritage projects
2. Reclaim Valuable Space
Every square foot counts. By eliminating traditional parking structures, our systems open up thousands of square feet that can be reallocated to:
- Additional leasable units
- Enhanced lobby and amenity areas
- Expanded retail frontage
- Green space or outdoor courtyards
- Better access and circulation paths
3. Improve Street Aesthetics and Walkability
Conventional garages often disrupt street presence with bulky ventilation, driveways, and blank facades. APS from WVIP enables:
- Smaller, discreet garage entries
- Seamless integration behind retail or landscape elements
- Enhanced street-facing elevations that comply with local design codes and enhance community appeal
Streamlined Integration for Modern Workflows
We understand architects don’t want additional complexity. That’s why WVIP offers design teams:
- CAD files and BIM-compatible system models
- Structural and load specifications
- Support with fire safety, egress, and zoning compliance
- Expert collaboration from concept to permit submission
Our goal is to make APS integration as smooth as any other building system — from early concept through to construction documentation.
Sustainability Built In
APS systems help architects meet ambitious environmental goals, especially in LEED-certified or carbon-conscious projects:
- Lower emissions from idle-free vehicle movement
- Reduced lighting and HVAC demand
- Better land use and more permeable landscape opportunities
Designing smarter means designing greener — and APS is a key part of that future.
What Our Partners Are Saying
“APS gave our design team flexibility we didn’t think was possible. We were able to preserve street-level retail and optimize every inch of the site.”
“Having the ability to remove ramps and still meet code made all the difference in our final layout.”
