Entry Name: Guardian Parking
Firm: Fitzsimmons Architects
Project Location: Oklahoma City, OK
Owner: Midtown Renaissance
Photographer: Joseph Mills Photography

This area is an integral part of the current renaissance of Oklahoma City and has seen a dramatic increase in both the redevelopment of existing buildings as well as new infill commercial and residential housing projects. To meet the needs of building tenants for protected parking in the urban environment the client opted for a central parking area for several buildings as opposed to separate parking lots. Covered parking is viewed as an added amenity in Oklahoma primarily due to weather concerns. The design solution was to provide the protected parking and pedestrian areas while maintaining visual openness for security of users.
