Is this the coolest parking garage in the world?

With one really new, really bright exception, parking garages are bad places.

They're dark and cramped.

They encourage you to get lost and drive in circles.

You don't want to be there alone after dark.

And far too often, simply locating your car turns into a fume-filled scavenger hunt. About 25% of the time you end up wandering around with your key fob raised in the air, clicking, clicking, clicking it hoping to hear a distant honk.

But then this thing comes along.

A colorful, geometric-heavy, "funhouse" of a parking garage in Sydney, Australia that looks nothing like a parking garage. "It looks like a children's museum or a hallucination," was the first reaction from a co-worker.

The big, bold mural covers not only the walls, but the floors and ceilings of the garage as well. Which means you end up with not only an all-encompassing color burst, but within a few months, perhaps some black tire tread marks to accent them.

The garage is located beneath a residential building and was designed by a pair of local graphic artists. They say the whole idea behind the unconventional project "was to breathe new life into the space which, having been rendered in concrete with little inlet of natural light, felt quite dark and heavy."

Well that problem appears to have been solved. Though the trippy design could create a new one, as pointed out by a visitor on Fast Company: "The only thing I can see against is optical issues with alignment, way-finding and depth perception. It would suck driving into a post you could not see or thought was (further) away."

True. But man, what a fun, happy, low-speed drive it would be before impact.
