RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE Annie Gillis Park, Pompano Beach, FL: KEITH was engaged by the City of Pompano CRA to develop a smaller community park that serves as neighborhood connection. The project was designed to integrate historically important elements and provide the flexibility to create larger gathering spaces for events. The design ensures that when the park is not used for events that the day to day user feels comfortable. Thought was given to integrate drainage into the park to allow resilient approach. KEITH provided survey, planning, civil engineering, and landscape architecture. Cost: $70,836.00 Centennial Park, Pompano Beach, FL: The Centennial Park project entails the addition of an outdoor open-air event pavilion incorporating contextually sensitive architecture that honors the historic Sample-McDougald House currently located on the property. The proposed improvements are a part of the City of Pompano Beach GO Bond initiative and include redevelopment of the walkways and garden areas adjacent to the future pavilion. KEITH has worked closely with stakeholders to ensure the new garden spaces and pavilion suit the event needs of guests and staff. Cost: $160,000 DC Alexander Park, Fort Lauderdale, FL: DC Alexander Park in Fort Lauderdale Beach is the result of careful and thorough analysis of the site, its context - historic and present, its users, and the needs of the community. At over 1 acre in area prominently located on Fort Lauderdale Beach adjacent to the Aquatic Center and International Swimming Hall of Fame, the project includes a signature architectural overlook and playground within a plaza complete with resilient dune plantings and carefully planned stormwater infrastructure. The team lead by KEITH analyzed shoreline habitat and behavior while considering the unknown and inevitable – sea level rise and climate change. The project is a case study in practical and creative applications of storm water mitigation practices resulting in a design that reflects and embraces the social and economic needs of the local community. This award-winning project balances 'design for people' and 'design with nature' and is a testament to the value of comprehensive research, exploration, and analysis phases. The Park is open for bid with construction commencing early Spring of 2022.
