-- KLAUS Multiparking America is pleased to announce the promotion of Kevin Paxton to Architectural Design & Sales Specialist, strengthening the company’s technical support capabilities during the critical early phases of project development. This advancement reflects growing demand for space-efficient parking solutions across U.S. real estate markets, where land constraints and construction costs increasingly challenge traditional parking approaches.
Paxton, Architectural Design & Sales Specialist
Mr. Paxton brings an architectural background to his expanded role, positioning him to work directly with architects, engineers, developers, and contractors during concept and schematic design. His work focuses on optimizing parking layouts, reducing construction volume, and integrating mechanical and semi-automatic parking systems into complex building conditions before design decisions are finalized.
Front-End Design Support
In this role, Mr. Paxton will support concept-level planning to maximize parking efficiency and layout flexibility, while preparing detailed KLAUS shop drawings—including plans, elevations, and coordination details. His responsibilities include aligning system design with architectural, structural, MEP, fire/life-safety, and building code requirements to address integration considerations early in the design process.
He will also assist with value-engineering alternatives, budget alignment, EV-charging readiness, and system access planning. By engaging project teams early, his work helps unlock more value per square foot while reducing excavation depth, structural volume, and circulation space—factors that directly influence construction cost and overall project feasibility.
Early coordination helps KLAUS systems integrate cleanly with structural, MEP, and life-safety requirements.
Bridging Technical and Design Communities
Mr. Paxton’s architectural experience allows him to communicate effectively across the full spectrum of project stakeholders. His ability to bridge conceptual design intent, technical requirements, and real-world constructability addresses a common challenge in mechanical parking projects, where coordination issues often arise if integration is not addressed until late-stage design.
“Kevin’s thoughtful approach and technical experience create meaningful value for our clients,” says Christopher Tiessen, President/CEO of KLAUS Multiparking America. “His work ensures seamless integration of our systems across a diverse range of development types—including multifamily, mixed-use, hospitality, student housing, senior living, and office conversions.”
The promotion comes as mechanical parking continues to transition from a specialty product to an established planning strategy in American cities. Rising construction costs, limited urban land availability, and evolving EV infrastructure requirements are prompting developers to reconsider conventional parking approaches that consume significant building area.
Market Context and Technical Evolution
Mr. Paxton’s expanded role aligns with broader market trends influencing parking infrastructure decisions. Increasing urban density and land cost pressures continue to drive interest in space-efficient parking solutions, especially in markets with geographic or regulatory building limits.
Additionally, the rapid growth of EV adoption and municipal EV-ready requirements has introduced new considerations for mechanical parking systems, including electrical distribution, ventilation, and fire-safety coordination. KLAUS emphasizes a forward-compatible approach that supports evolving technology and charging standards.
Shop-drawing–ready plans and elevations streamline reviews, reduce redesigns, and accelerate approvals.
