A Secret Car Park

The people of San Francisco-based Beausoleil Architects have transformed the ground floor of a monumental Victorian house near Ashbury into a secret parking space. Due to a lack of parking spots in this San Francisco neighborhood, parking inside the building was a necessity for the owner, explains The Presurfer. Sacrificing a part of the ground floor seemed to be the only possibility. In order to maintain the historical Victorian facade, this James Bond-like transformable design turned out to be the solution. Check out the website of Beausoleil Architects for more information.
