Parking areas changing into real estate models – is that a practical concept we should seriously take into consideration? According to San Francisco-based developer Aaron Cheng, who published this exciting concept to this season's James Dyson Awards, a building that alternates between real estate and vehicle parking is not only possible, but it can also be a remedy to frequenting for both people and vehicles. The Car vehicle parking + Housing venture is this innovative designer’s remedy to a prevalent issue – “During day time, the real estate models are compacted to make areas for vehicle parking, while at night, the process removes with vehicle parking going back into living places via a air-driven structure.”
Between Godalming and Haslemere, in Surrey, near the English village of Witley, once stood one of the most lavish private residences in the world —the Witley Park. Originally called Lea Park, it belonged to a man named Whitaker Wright who made his fortune by defrauding shareholders of hundreds of million pounds —not once, but twice in two different continents. At the peak of his financial crimes, Wright bought the vast 1,400-acre Victorian estate from the 15th Earl of Derby and built an extravagant 32-bedroom mansion, among other things like a racecourse, a theater and a private hospital.
