Designed for QPark by Hérault Arnod architectes , in collaboration with artist Krijn de Koning , Ravet is a new 499-space car park with a curved and translucent volume .

Sculptural architecture
The land chosen by the City for construction of the car park construction is located along rue de Boigne , a historic road in the Chambéry city center . The street , built in the first half of the 19th century and lined with arcades , leads to the castle of the Dukes of Savoy , a major heritage building built in the 12th century , passing by the famous Elephant Fountain . Opposite the castle , the perspective of the street converges on the Q-Park Ravet project , with a backdrop of mountains .
