Although this car park has a capacity of 1,000 cars, what makes it truly remarkable is that the first floor can also be used as a flexible space for conventions and exhibitions. Benthem Crouwel Architects have supervised the entire RAI complex since 1989 – and the car park is the third building they have built for the RAI.

Characterised by its simple rectangular shape, the car park features spiraling, helix-shaped towers; one is for visitors entering the building, the other for cars that are leaving. At night, blue LED lights shine on the curved edges of the building, making the structure even more eye-catching to those passing by.
