KLAUS Multiparking America has promoted Kevin Paxton to Architectural Design & Sales Specialist, a move that strengthens the company’s technical support capabilities during the critical early phases of project development. The promotion reflects growing demand for space-efficient parking solutions across American real estate markets where land constraints and construction costs increasingly challenge traditional parking approaches.
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 phases. His focus centers on optimizing parking layouts, reducing construction volume, and integrating mechanical and semi-automatic systems into complex building conditions before design decisions become locked in.
In his new position, Mr. Paxton will support concept-level planning to maximize parking efficiency and layout flexibility while preparing detailed KLAUS shop drawings that include plans, elevations, and coordination details. His work involves aligning system design with structural, MEP, fire/life-safety, and building code requirements, addressing integration challenges during design development rather than after permits are issued.
Mr. Paxton will also develop value-engineering alternatives that support budget alignment without compromising performance, and assist project teams with EV-charging readiness and system access planning. By engaging early in the process, his work helps unlock more value per square foot while reducing excavation depth, structural volume, and circulation space, factors that directly impact project feasibility and construction costs.
Mr. Paxton’s architectural experience positions 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 integration complexity can create coordination issues if not addressed during early design phases.
“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 transitions from a specialty solution to a more established alternative in American markets. Rising construction costs, limited urban land, and evolving EV infrastructure requirements are pushing development teams to reconsider conventional parking approaches that consume significant building area and site volume.
Mr. Paxton’s expanded role reflects broader market trends influencing parking infrastructure decisions. Urban density increases and land cost pressures continue driving interest in space-efficient parking solutions, particularly in markets with geographic or regulatory constraints on horizontal expansion.
Integration of EV charging infrastructure represents an ongoing adaptation to market evolution. As electric vehicle adoption accelerates and municipalities implement EV-ready parking requirements, mechanical parking systems face new technical challenges around power distribution, ventilation, and fire safety considerations that require early coordination during design development.
KLAUS’s approach to these challenges emphasizes future-proofing installations rather than maximizing current EV capacity, recognizing uncertainty around vehicle technology evolution and charging infrastructure standards.
