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.
