For this project, KEITH is thrilled to have partners of the highest caliber. Savino & Miller Design Studio is an award-winning firm that began in 1985 with the partnership of Adriana Savino and Barry Miller as a collaborative approach between architecture and landscape architecture in the creation of outdoor spaces. Drawing upon their passion for design in the public realm, Barry and Adriana fused their diverse professional backgrounds in Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Architecture, and Regional Planning, incorporating Savino & Miller Design Studio in 1993. They have since successfully brought numerous public sector projects to fruition, including parks, streetscapes, urban design guidelines, master plans, and site and community planning. Their multi-faceted education and experience gives them a broad perspective. This interdisciplinary “range” provides their clients with informed design alternatives and creative problem-solving. Their studio’s work is essentially holistic and collaborative, with a focus on resiliency, ecological stewardship, a clear understanding of the pragmatic, and a creative, “outside-the- box” approach. SMDS’s mission is to improve the quality of life through design and understanding of the interaction of the urban with the natural world. As shapers of the spatial environment, the hope is to create meaningful experiences and joy in our shared communal lives and private moments of solitude, as we interact with spaces. The focus is to design spaces that reflect their location, intention and desire of those who will use them for years to come. After almost three decades of working in the region, SMDS has a comprehensive understanding of South Florida’s natural, human and cultural ecology, and the challenges of climate change, resiliency and adaptation impacting the area. These challenges require a thorough understanding of the regulatory environment, latest technologies and strategies, and demand a flexible and multidisciplinary approach to create the most effective solutions. As important as the role that the community and stakeholders play on public projects; consensus-building is key to a project’s success. 8RFQ No. 22-06-01
