Singapore's supercar owners can now keep a close eye on their expensive rides – by parking in their living rooms

Biometrically-controlled lift whisks residents' beloved motors directly to their apartments

Singapore is home to more supercars per capita than anywhere else in the world but parking space is limited


Supercar owners living in an exclusive new high-rise apartment block can keep a close eye on their beloved motors thanks to a special elevator that allows them to park in their living rooms.



Hamilton Parks in Singapore is a brand-new 30-storey development where flats cost between £6 and £15million. But with parking in the city limited, the skyscraper designer came up with an innovative way of parking some of the planet's fastest cars.

Residents simply drive their 200mph motors into a biometrically-controlled lift at the base of Hamilton Parks on the city's swanky Orchard Road.

They then press their thumb on a sensor in the lift and the elevator transports the car to the apartment where it is parked in what developers call an 'en suite garage'. Owners can then wind down after a long day's work with their supercar in full view - despite being more than 100-metres up. RELATED ARTICLES Previous
