<br />Larry Levis is an award-winning architect, urban designer, and waterfront planner. His 27-
<br />year career has spanned a wide variety of project types including community centers, mixed-
<br />use projects, libraries, places of worship, higher education facilities, concert halls, and cruise
<br />passenger and ferry terminals. He has also led numerous institutions and public entities in
<br />transportation-related and culturally signifi cant projects. He has served as the lead professional
<br />for projects in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, France, and Southeast Asia.
<br />He has designed state-of-the-art cruise passenger and ferry terminals for ports and state and
<br />national government entities on four continents. He is a frequent speaker at international
<br />conferences such as Seatrade, American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA), and the
<br />International Association of Cities and Ports (IACP).
<br />His current project experience includes:
<br />Puerto Maya Pier Duty Free Building, Cozumel, Mexico. Mr. Levis was project manager
<br />for this project, which involved designing a state-of-the-art over-water duty-free store on an
<br />existing pier. The building serves as a new entranceway, funneling visitors to the retail village
<br />adjacent to the pier.
<br />Snyder Park Tennis Center, North Miami Beach, FL. Mr. Levis provided master planning
<br />services, architectural design services, landscape architecture, civil engineering, and ecological
<br />services for the development of a new 7,500 sf tennis center and café. Mr. Levis oversaw the
<br />project manager, provided quality assurance, and was the client liaison throughout. Cost:
<br />$5.5M
<br />Mahogany Bay Destination Retail Village, Roatan Island, Honduras (Roatan Cruise
<br />Terminal S.A. de C.V.). Mr. Levis was the partner-in-charge selected to design a new,
<br />themed destination retail village comprising 17 buildings, and incorporating a multimodal
<br />center. Coordinating a Florida and Honduras production team, Mr. Levis designed and oversaw
<br />construction of every aspect of the $15M development.
<br />Miami Dade College (MDC) Miami Culinary Institute, Wolfson Campus Building,
<br />Miami, FL. Mr. Levis was the project principal for the architectural and engineering design
<br />services for an eight-story culinary arts building with a wine-tasting center and mechanical
<br />equipment roof level, situated on a demolished one-story, 4,100-square-foot building site.
<br />The work involved design of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and conveyor
<br />systems; planning of circulation spaces; hardscape and landscape design; engineering
<br />coordination with adjacent overhead Metromover track, Metromover right-of-way, and existing
<br />Miami Dade College chiller lines; design and coordination of new and existing support utilities,
<br />new structural components with existing adjacent structures, maintenance of traffi c, and
<br />construction staging; design of signage and graphics; and full construction administration
<br />services.
<br />Cruise Terminal at Port Rashid, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Mr. Levis served as design
<br />principal for a new cruise ship terminal in Dubai which will be the premier facility in the Middle
<br />East. The terminal is fl exible enough to handle home-port and port-of-call vessels at the same
<br />time, with their unique processing protocols. The 220,000-square-foot facility was designed
<br />to LEED Gold certifi cation standards, and refl ects the modern aesthetic trends of Dubai while
<br />subtly recalling traditional forms and patterns.
