North Miami Beach Youth Center: Tropical architecture for the future.
The goal of this project is to create a warm and inviting space that would attract the youth of North Miami Beach, being that a grand part of the population of South Beach began to have a shift to the north. The space would include different areas of play including a gymnasium along with other areas of learning and relaxing. One of the main focal points of this project is the Banyan Tree located at the center of the site. The eastern and southern facades are almost completely glass to take advantage of this beautiful sight which has been complemented with a landscaping design that includes a grand stair with two ramps at its sides. The facade panels of this building do not only serve for shading, cooling, and aesthetics, but also to remind the people of North Beach in subtle way what all of Florida including Miami is built upon, truly the literal foundations of the entire city. These panel feautures were designed specifically to fit only in North Beach, hence giving the building an increased sense of belonging
Barrio Tropical: Allapattah
In this studio we were given 3 weeks to create a new residential complex in the neighborhood of Allapattah, FL. I had one of the largest sites available so I decided to create a mixed-use residential building that would be inviting to the entire neighborhood, with shops located on the first floor, 12 residential units per floor and a communal garden roof for the residents.
