Miami Beach, FL

​

The project utilizes the irregular shape and constrained proportions of the site to develop an engaging public space. Several layers are developed through referenced geometry to overlay green areas with pedestrian platforms, volumetric seating, and shading surfaces.

The site sits next to a major intersection in South Beach, Fl, and directly in front of a bus stop and taxi waiting area, making it one of the few spots in the South Beach area to hang out comfortably outdoors. The wall covered with vegetation faces south, reducing the amount of light and heat transmitted to the street level.
