I'm pretty sure when you have a condo like that and a Quattroporte on your balcony your not rushing off in the morning to punch in at any particular time.

I still hate heights. I'll stick to something a little closer to sea level thank you very much.

There is a bottom level ya know! :P

I think that building looks incredible! Assuming the car is seperated from the house so there's no risk of gases entering the home, it's a gerat idea! I'd love to detail the car inside!

Car Loft: Pricing Wrote:The floor space including the aerial gardens and CarLoggias ranges in size from 224 sq m (2411 sq ft) to 539 sq m (5,802 sq ft) in the penthouse. Prices start at EUR 450,600 depending on size and fittings.

Car Loft: Questions Wrote:Exhaust fumes
Since the cars stand on open and roofed CarLoggias, exhaust fumes can quickly escape.

Elevator (CarLift)
The elevator will be supplied by renowned, internationally active lift manufacturers. It will include:
Automatic user recognition (access rights and the floor you live on) based on a transponder/transmitter
Pre-programming of departure times
A computer unit to calculate the costs of lift usage (electricity and maintenance)
A large elevator car fitted with lighting, mirrors and optical and acoustic signals to make driving in and out easier, all helping to dispel any nervousness residents may have

Fire risk
The fire risk presented by vehicles is negligible. Even if a fire breaks out, vehicles don't usually explode. Should a fire occur, the heat and smoke will quickly escape through the open CarLoggia. Each loft and its CarLoggia are separated by an F30 fire- resistant wall or glass. Smoke detectors and fire alarms will be installed.

Mobility guarantee
The mobility guarantee takes the form of insurance against additional costs in line with AMB 91 guidelines (General Conditions of Machine Insurance). Should the elevator not work, taxis and/or hired cars will be made available free of charge.

Sound insulation
According to the report compiled by Müller BBM, a Berlin-based firm of sound insulation consultants, engine and car-door noise remain within the legal limits for both day and night without the need for additional sound insulation work. The disturbance for residents matches that normally presented by local residents' vehicles out on the street.

Ecological issues
The CarLoft approach means there's no need to build an underground car park beneath the courtyard or garden, which would completely seal the land surface. Instead, the rainwater is absorbed by the ground and can seep away naturally in the green, unsealed inner courtyard.
