is placed on the ground floor beneath the residential floors of a building. In this design, the ground floor is raised on structural columns or stilts for parking vehicles below. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.embassyprojectsindia.com\/embassy-boulevard\/\">Embassy Boulevard<\/a><\/strong> in Yelahanka has stilt parking.
