Balconies for cars

I first read about the idea of the Loft Car in one of Nicolas' post.
German architects Manfred Dick (who sought a patent for his concept)
and Johannes Kauka want to help drivers park their car right on their
appartment’s balcony.



You'd drive the vehicle straight on into the car elevator (that
promises to be able to fit a Bentley), push the button, and off you you
park outside your penthouse (on the "carloggia"!) The architects point
out that safety and comfort are two of the major advantages that come
with this garage concept: it's easier to unload the groceries, your car
is always under your eyes, your family is better protected from
kidnapping or carjacking attempts, etc.
