Stanford University Medical Center Parking Structure Effortless arrival

This project complements the updated Hoover Pavilion, shaping open spaces around a central garden and main circulation spine to create a cohesive outdoor environment that bridges historic and modern campus features. Staggered and terraced massing reduces the building’s visual impact, while cantilevered forms define clear entry points and provide a human-scaled experience aligned with the Medical Center’s design guidelines. Adjacent to a botanical garden, plant-inspired environmental graphics serve as wayfinding cues, connecting the structure to Palo Alto’s celebrated urban forest. The result is a thoughtful integration of parking, landscape, and Pavilion, offering an intuitive and welcoming arrival.
