I assume you mean interpret?
If so... it either means one of three things:
1. They want it to blend in with the unevenness of the area around Hildebrand so, part of the first floor of units in the building will be even with an entrance of sorts and (perhaps) parking will be on the "first" floor from the back or side (if the back or side is lower terrain than the front.) So parking will be "direct" access, and not "underground". Kind of like Drury in Stone Oak.
2. (Nothing to do with blending) It is covered parking or attached garage parking so the tenants will not have to go outside.
3. (Again nothing to do with blending but only the "direct access" part) - It is reserved parking per unit so if you live on the first floor, there is direct access to the parking area (lot or garage).
Could be none of those... just my take of what it could mean.
From the looks of the rendering though, it does look like the left side of the building (from our POV) is even to the roadway and the rest of the building is technically 6 floors with the 1st floor as parking.
