BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br /> <br /> <br />For fifty years, pedestrian access, traffic circulation, and <br />views to the beach were interrupted at 16th Street between <br />Washington and Collins Avenue by an underused municipal <br />parking lot and two historic buildings. Located in the <br />Convention Hotel District, City planners had identified <br />the three-block-long site for potential development. In <br />1996, the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency and Loews <br />Hotel Corporation entered into a public-private joint <br />venture to build the first convention-quality resort hotel <br />in Miami Beach in more than three decades. The Anchor <br />Shops and Parking Garage proved integral to the Hotel <br />Development Agreement by enabling the Loews Hotel to <br />meet its parking requirement as specified under the City's <br />zoning ordinance. <br /> <br />nighttime use, maintainability and ease of operation. The 800 <br />car garage services both the hotel and the general public. <br />The resulting development restored pedestrian and traffic <br />circulation and also revived the only derelict municipal site <br />in the City's Historic District. <br /> <br />The firm conceived of a means of providing the necessary <br />parking spaces within 500 feet of the hotel, as required by <br />the City's zoning code, in a way that both practically and <br />handsomely served the urban setting. By reopening 16th <br />Street as a roadway, incorporating the historic buildings into <br />a new structure, and building 21,500 SF of retail space at <br />ground level, the design provided a safe, secure, and easily <br />maintainable parking facility without the visual and physical <br />intrusion of a massive parking pedestal. <br /> <br />The parking structure is conceived as an urban building with <br />pedestrian oriented activities at the street. The building is <br />designed to blend into the character of the historic district <br />and is clad with a combination of architectural pre-cast, for <br />the garage component which is set back from the street, and <br />stucco at the retail level at the sidewalk. The structure itself <br />is a precast structure with field or factory applied topping <br />slabs. The facility is highly sensitive to issues of security, <br /> <br />(1) Firm Name <br />Zyscovich, Inc. <br /> <br />(2) Firm Location (City & Slate) <br />Miami, FL <br /> <br />(3) Role <br /> <br />Architectural Design, Planning, Construction <br />Management, Permitting Sustainable Design <br /> <br />ZYSCOVICH <br />ARCHITECTS <br />
