A CARPARK of the future is with stacked motors on top of each other in a cylindrical "lift" and moved around on boards.

Architects have designed a futuristic automated car park shaped as a canopy of trees in Hangzhou, China.

Architecture firm Daniel Statham Studio has launched Future Car Park - with a capacity of 500 vehicles.

The impressive construction boasts huge circular towers where cars can run upwards connected by a roof top.

Creators said: "Future Car Park invents a new way people commute to urban hubs, while creating an urban oasis that is a synthesis of the latest automated parking technologies, public space, event spaces and hanging gardens for the public."

Cars are stacked up inside the three circular towers at the centre.

The rest of the tree-like buildings have the ability of transporting people up and down through an internal lift system.

At the corners of the site there are an additional four orthogonal towers containing fire escapes.

The advanced automated system can take vehicles directly to a designated parking - saving up the hassle of finding a spot.

Motorists drive their vehicles into the building at the basement level - where people and cars are separated into different towers.

They are then taken to lower parking zones or stacked in the towers via the lifts.

Each vehicle gets a parking spot based on the required parking time set by the owner of the car by the automated system.

The system then continuously then changes the parking arrangements as the time approaches to make it easier for pick up.

Lead architect Daniel Statham explained: "We have attempted to combine and celebrate automotive technologies in both its vehicular and parked form, in its ever-evolving sustainable pursuit and house it as 'art within the architecture'.

"It is a celebration of 'man and machine' in a space for the future city that makes a statement to create a healthier and more sustainable environment for all."

Builders covered the lavish car park's facade in metal louvres to create a see-through effect.

The porous cladding also lets natural sunlight into the park as a natural ventilation system.

Architects added: "The car park not only ventilates any car fumes from non-electric vehicles around the basement edge via the ramping system but also deep within the floor plan using the 'towers' as a kind of 21st-century chimney."

It comes as motoring experts revealed the world's most futuristic motorhome with its own full-size garage, massage chairs and interior styled by a yacht designer.

The stunning vehicle, manufactured by Hungarian firm Dembell, is like something from a Hollywood movie.
