The cooperation between the Franco Barberis SpA and the German company Goldbek GmbH has allowed the construction of the first multi storey car park with the GOBACAR system in Alba where, through the innovative Project Financing solution, there have been built 403 paying parking spaces.
The multi storey car park above ground is located next to the Railway Station at the limit of the Historic Center but, at the same time, central, based on the current city development.
The choice of this light and transparent architectural typology comes from the need to insert the structure in the urban context giving a sense of homogeneity, continuity and transparence.
A special attention has been paid to the finish of the main façade, built with titanium zinc plate, and the lateral façades that present open gratings of painted wire mesh. Furthermore, the volume choice of the staircases and the commercial space at the entrance of the car park, nicely distinguish the building and camouflage the construction which is only used as a car parking space.
On the side facing the railroad, the car park is closed with light structures, that prevent the free access and guarantee the security offering a protection towards the exterior, and creates an open effect that allows the light, both natural and artificial, to filter throughout the building.
The structure is made of steel-concrete load bearing prefabricated. This construction typology has allowed the realization of a slight and low impact building despite the strong structural spans.
The floor plant has been conceived based on offset floor plates: three facing the railroad, and two in a mezzanine towards Corso F.lli Bandiera, with indoor one sense access ramps.
