70 Nye Parkeringsplasser i Montreux

The Montreux Park+Rail Extension adds 70 new parking spaces between the platforms of Montreux station, expanding on a parking lot that originally opened in 1997 and offers direct access to important local transport and facilities. Located in the town center, it provides improved convenience for residents, public transport users, and visitors.

Innovativ Tensairity Arkitektur

In a breakthrough architectural design, the new 1,600 square meter space utilizes tensairity beams, which consist of cylindrical tubes made of a fireproof membrane filled with low-pressure air. These beams, supported by 24 inclined metal posts at each end, eliminate the need for central pillars and offer both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. By day, the translucent roof softens the natural light, while by night, lighting within the beams can be programmed to display a range of colors that complement cultural events in Montreux.

Møter Økt Parkeringsbehov

The project was driven by the demand for additional parking, as the initial 219-space garage was often over 60% full. The expansion built above the existing parking lot directly at platform level mitigates overcrowding and caters to the needs of various users. The innovative and strategic design highlights a forward-thinking approach to urban infrastructure, embodying both function and form.
