I mean, we have some for sure, but everyone seems to be sour on parking levels. It's not like they're the most exciting part of a building, so I don't know why people are surprised they aren't...excited about it. They are the most utilitarian part of a building, and often are very visible.

I'll grant you those other ones, and would probably add elements of 360's garage. Even the Frost Bank Tower's panels aren't perfect, especially not up close, and while the Silcon Labs buildings were cool back in the day, they just feel out of place now.

I'm not sure there are any non-cheap materials you could add to a garage. And it's not always the material, but the design that is unfortunate, unless it becomes stained.
