designer's own words:

Revolver is an urban parking unit of which the concept came from a screw revolving up and down. It therefore takes same principle as a screw. It is designed to provide a quick and easy access and it is a secure way of parking in congested and hectic urban environment by revolving into the ground.
Not only is it quick and secure, but also it saves space by only moving vertically, as it can take a large number of cars within a relatively small space depending on how many levels it has. (3 cars per level)
Revolver can be built anywhere, whether it is in a single unit or several units for busier areas, where then you will see Revolvers rotating up and down as people are trying to park or to collect their cars giving sense of fun and movement in urban landscape.

How does it work?
Revolver is rotated and supported by the motors at the sides under the ground where it will be hidden away from public.
As for parking, the parking slot comes out towards the side when it reaches the ground level. The car can be then driven in and out of the slot when parking or collecting your car.
