SAVANNAH, GEORGIA 

Just because it’s a parking garage doesn’t mean it deserves less attention. In fact, it deserves more. This 930-space facility had to be designed to conform to the development guidelines and beauty of Savannah’s historic district. The structure’s mass, height and form were intended to blend with adjacent structures to minimize impact on nearby smaller buildings. The materials of brick and limestone are in keeping with the materials of nearby historic commercial and residential buildings. The wood louvers relate to smaller wood-framed houses in the residential district to the west. This attention to detail made it deserving of not one but three awards from the Historic Savannah Foundation, (first and only for a parking garage!), the International Parking Institute and the American Concrete Institute.
