Pelissier Parking Garage

1999

Passa Architects were commissioned to provide design ideas which would enhance the exterior appearance of this existing parking structure owned by the City of Windsor and located in the heart of the city’s downtown. The existing parking structure was originally designed by William Kachmaryk, an architect in Windsor. The design elements introduced by Passa Architects were limited to aesthetic improvements such as new exterior aluminum canopies, revised railings in the stairwells, new signage and several large exterior aluminum decorative trellises mounted on the face of the structure to mimic tree branches. The trellises were designed for the growth of green leafing vines which would have been fed water from built-in reservoirs at the base of the trellis.
