Urbanesque: An architectural term inferring that a series of structures are built close together with minimal outside space to separate them, thus giving the aesthetic of a modern city or densely populated space. Urbanesque structures are usually devoid of ornamentation and the connecting outside space between them is used in a utilitarian manner, ie, for a bench or outdoor seating.
The design masks the traditional industrial parking garage aesthetic, replacing it with an urbanesque facade that blends with the surrounding architecture.

Ah come on you Dunder Caps! Look at what renovations to the Vinoy hotel did for downtown St. Pete! The concerts, the promotions – at Vinoy Park. Please. If that isn’t an example of how to make money on a historic downtown venue I don’t know what is. Are all of you out of work construction workers?
