BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The landscape development of this site, which <br />had been part of the Everglades in the 1900’s, <br />was based on the idea of restoring this unique <br />environment which still exists a few miles west of <br />the site. The project site has been filled and <br />prepared for development, however through <br />careful planning we propose to remove some of <br />this fill and restore and regenerate the previously <br />lost ecosystem. This new landscape <br />environment will serve to connect the <br />undeveloped portions of South Florida, with the <br />local community, by nestling this new Federal <br />Building within this context. The landscape <br />elements of the project are critical in that they will <br />serve multi-faceted roles – the reestablishment of <br />the relationship between the natural processes <br />and the human activity, the treatment of storm <br />water and its release to replenish lost wetlands, <br />provision of habitats for plants and animals <br />therefore contributing to the ecological diversity <br />and contributing to the physical and mental well <br />being of the users through their interaction with <br />nature. <br /> <br />Curtis + Rogers is pleased to have conceived the <br />“Everglades Landscape” concept for the GSA – <br />Federal Office Building in Miramar Florida which <br />was developed during the alternative concept <br />phase of the project. The approach will not only <br />greatly assist in successfully achieving credits for <br />the sustainable sites initiative, but will create a <br />unique and exciting approach to landscape <br />design in South Florida. The following GSA <br />Design Review Comments speak to their <br />enthusiastic endorsement of the concept and <br />their desire to see its successful implementation. <br />Cost: $ 136,000,000 – Size: 475,000 sq. ft. <br /> <br /> <br />25.
