. ~ '<0 -. " PROJECTS / REFERENCES ". Project name: Coral Gables Business Entrance Gateway Coral Gables, Florida Description: Architectural Services Located at the intersection of Ponce De Leon Blvd. and SW 81h Street entrance to the City of Coral Gables Business District, this portal spans the whole width of the Boulevard, without creating a burden on traffic flow and an obstruction to any views along the Blvd. The goal was to be sensitive to the location, the history and the future of the ever expanding business district as well as become a focal point at one ofthe City's most important entrances. The concept here was to not only treat the vehicular traffic in and out of the City... but more importantly... the pedestrians which cross this area every single day as they go to work, to shop and to dine. The book-end monuments located to the East and West of the Blvd. entrance contain a portal for all pedestrians to pass through, which gives them a sense of entry into something special and not seen anywhere. From the South, towards each of these monuments are a series of obelisk which guides and leads the pedestrian from one edge of the City... into the heard of the Business District. In turn these portals create and frame the street along with a two story clock tower at the median, establishing the focal point of the design.

Architectural Services Located on the north side of the Miami River and in the heart of the Spring Garden Historical District, this luxury 16 unit, four stories residential building is one of Miami newest additions. By using the concept of"thru-unit", each unit has a view of the river as well as the City's civic skyline. The residents have numerous amenities such as a docking facility for motor boats, swimming pool, gymnasium and a pool bar at their disposal. The open floor plan design of each unit, along with semi-private elevator lobbies and the convenience of an inside the unit trash chute, not to mention access to the Miami river by means of a private dock, makes this what one article says to be "The best kept secret in the City of Miami". The understructure parking garage created another desired feature for the residents by providing shelter and security from the elements. The use of lush landscaping and natural coral stones help to incorporate almost seamlessly, this new and modem structure into its historical home. The architecture and landscaping integrate this delicate structure into the surrounding neighborhood by incorporating features such as proportions, texture, material, and plants species that are indigenous to the area.
