Article Abstract:
The new double-storey car park at Stockley Park business park near Heathrow airport in west London is very unusual in design. It features a slimline, white-painted steel frame, and all four sides of both floors are completely open to daylight. There is minimalist marine-style balustrading with stainless steel handrails and horizontal cable restraints, and the upper deck is made up of thin pavement lights. Broadway Malyan acted as architect for the scheme.
