The design for the park, which included a signature playground and interactive water feature, started in 2022 and is set for phase 2 to be completed in 2027. The concept for the playground and interactive water feature was Wild Florida showcasing the transition between South Florida ecology moving from the Everglades to the springs within the playground, and finally into the ocean at the interactive water feature. This concept was centered around the idea of fostering an appreciation for nature while encouraging adventure play for the children who enjoy the space. The design features iconic, custom-fabricated elements such as Tree Top Towers, evoking the Everglades’ cypress canopy, and a sculptural Alligator Climber, which has become the visual and thematic focal point of the playground. The layout, which is tightly integrated with the site’s constraints, was configured to maximize play value within a limited space while maintaining clear visual storytelling tied to the Wild Florida theme. The playground design incorporates tree house themes with elevated walkways, sensory experiences including visual (light & shade), tactile (textural variety) and auditory elements, as well as topographic changes and pockets with our native flora and fauna. The ocean-themed interactive water feature brings the spirit of Fort Lauderdale’s waterways to life through playful bubblers, misting sprayers, and sculptural representations of local aquatic animals. Designed as an elevated alternative to a conventional splash pad, the feature combines interactive water play with artful placemaking, creating an experience that is both visually appealing and family friendly. Inspired by Florida’s diverse ecosystems, the Wild Florida playground and water feature create an immersive play experience that encourages exploration, discovery, and a connection to nature.

From gathering and synthesizing historic information on a site, to mapping data on current contextual conditions, his work provides the basis for developing a landscape design that seamlessly weaves into the surrounding environment while also providing services that enhance the resiliency of urban spaces. As a skilled writer, Robert also assists in the development of narratives that translate the technical language frequently used in the fi eld of urban design into a more palatable format; useful when conveying complex ideas to broad audiences. Through this, he seeks to bridge divide between the designers and users of urban landscapes. As a lead in community engagement for Curtis + Rogers Design Studio, Robert Curtis brings a hands-on and empathetic approach to connecting people with place. He guides the public outreach process for major park and resilience projects—organizing bilingual workshops, surveys, and on-the-ground observations that reveal how spaces are truly used and valued. Through this work, Robert translates community input into actionable design strategies that balance everyday needs with long-term ecological resilience, ensuring that each project refl ects the voices and character of the people it Certifi cations Certifi ed Arborist International Society of Arboriculture #FL-9891A ISA TRAQ Certifi ed Certifi ed Landscape Inspector Landscape Inspectors Assocation of Florida #2025-318 WEDG Associate Waterfront Alliance Sites AP #00003632 Climate Speaker CLEO Institute Affi liations Member The American Society of Landscape Architects Board Member Landscape inspectors Association of Florida Education Bachelor of Arts Environmental Studies Oberlin College Bachelor of Arts History Oberlin College School for Field Studies Sustainable Development Program Atenas, Costa Rica Employment Curtis + Rogers Design June 2019 -Present Civic Experience City of Miami Arborist Services; Miami, Florida Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk Arborist Services; City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida Hobie Beach / Virginia Key Restoration; Miami, Florida South Miami Arborist Services; City of South Miami, Florida WASD South Miami Pump Station; South Miami, Florida Sustainability and Resiliency Boynton Beach Climate Adaptation Plan, Boynton Beach, Florida Dinner Key Breakwater and Resilience Improvements; City of Miami, Florida Robert Curtis Certifi ed Arborist / Landscape Designer Streetscape + Transportation Experience Low Stress Multimodal Mobility Transportation System Master Plan; Broward County, Florida Miami Beach Promenade; Miami Beach, Florida Southwest Streetscape and Street Tree Master Plan; City of Miami, Florida Parks Experience Alice Wainwright Park; City of Miami, Florida Jose Marti Park Adaptive Redesign; City of Miami, Florida Merrie Christmas Park; City of Miami, Florida Morningside Park; City of Miami, Florida Education Experience K-12 Dr. Frederica S.

APPROACH TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT Approach to Project Management Cost Control In general, our projects are brought in on budget. We prepare cost estimates from schematic design and throughout the process continuously updating and back checking them to reflect current market conditions and trends. At the end of each design stage, we review project budget vs. program to make sure our original assumptions and program have not been altered to affect the outcome. During the construction documentation process, the C+R team will submit updated cost estimates with all progress submittals, as well as a final bid tabulation set. We continuously hold a percentage of the budget as a contingency during all estimates which begins at 20% during schematic design and is progressively reduced as elements and construction documents are developed. We involve our consultants in all aspects of the development of estimates to make sure each element is properly budgeted. Additionally, we maintain a database of projects recently bid so we can continuously compare and update our cost assumptions. An example of this happened during a contract with Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation for 4 playground replacements we were hired to design. The timeline for design of these playgrounds took place during COVID, a time when construction costs were often shifting and funding availability was causing delays in the green lighting of projects from the design into construction. Our approach of working closely with our vendor representatives allowed us to gather frequent updates to the costs for equipment, freight and installation, keeping our estimates close to what ultimately was priced during the bidding phase and eventually installed. We keep budget and cost projection discussions on-going throughout the process so that there are no surprises during the bidding phase, whether traditional, design build, or construction management method. In instances when our projects that run into issues of being over the projected budget, we utilize scope modifications to reduce costs, either deferring required items to future phases or eliminating items that may be desirable but are not required to occupy the space. Additionally, when the situation arises, we work closely with contractors to find alternatives and identify opportunities for cost savings while not sacrificing the design intent or the quality of the final product. A successful example of this was a collaboration with the contractors on a project with Florida International University where there was a suggestion to decrease the cost of outdoor furnishings by swapping the bollard covers to a less expensive alternative. Our team reviewed options from various vendors and without losing the design intent or quality of the material was able to switch the product, creating a 41% cost savings on the bollards. In our project Jose Marti Adaptive Redesign with the City of Miami, which was designed in 2019 but is currently beginning construction, costs have significantly changed during the lengthy permitting and bidding process. In this project to offset some of the costs associated with landscaping we have found ways to adjust plant sizing and spacing to reduce the quantity of plants without losing the design intent for planting beds. Additionally, we provided an alternative base material for the hardscaped areas that not only reduced costs but also had a positive impact on our carbon footprint by using recycled concrete. Scheduling Project management at Curtis + Rogers allocates resources based on project complexity and phase, ensuring that our landscape architects and designers, irrigation specialists, and construction administration personnel are engaged at the appropriate times to deliver beautiful, resilient, and maintainable projects that are within the City’s budget and timeline. At the outset of each task, we will collaborate with City staff to establish project objectives, scope, schedule, budget, and key deliverables. At each initial project kick-off meeting, the project scope, schedule and personnel role are established. Following this meeting, a series of coordination meetings or conference calls- with the client- are established to review the work in progress, and to ensure that the project is proceeding according to the scope, desires of the client group and in accordance with the established schedule. Meeting notes are taken and distributed to all project participants, via email. Our team structure combined with heavily involved principals provides a distinct advantage in managing scheduling challenges. In our project the USACE Back Bay Study, the involvement of the project manager and availability to step in during last minute meetings gave the opportunity to provide much needed insight to the United States Army Corps of Engineers team on the role of landscape architects in designing for resiliency through green infrastructure. To ensure successful project execution, our Project manager maintains regular communication with City staff through progress meetings, status reports, and timely responses to requests. Rather than relying on multiple layers of management, our managing principal remains closely connected to every project and is available to step in when construction issues arise or community stakeholders need direct engagement. An example of this is with Morningside Park a project in collaboration with the City of Miami where we are co-prime consultants. The immediate access to senior leadership has been able to accelerate problem-solving, improve coordination among project partners, and help prevent minor issues from becoming schedule- impacting delays. For this project the design called for large plant material with character to offer immediate shade upon the park re-opening. When the landscape contractor was running into issues sourcing the material at the specified size and quality, quick coordination from the project manager meeting to review the submitted material allowed for quick decision making to reject the material and to have our team arborist step in to assist with sourcing the material to meet the design intent. The overall result of our management structure has been a more responsive project team, faster decision- making, and greater confidence for clients and stakeholders alike. In addition, the Curtis + Roger’s project manager will organize the work into a series of critical tasks. These tasks are evaluated as to the level of effort required, the available data and the anticipated scheduling impacts. This work effort is distributed to all team members, and tracked periodically – with completion dates, anticipated delays or additional tasks needed. The project manager will continually update the task list and track the scope and schedule modifications. Our project Miami Beach Promenade Feasibility Study & Masterplan in collaboration with the City of Miami Beach, a project which we are the prime consultant on, our task tracking allowed the submission of key project deliverables to be submitted ahead of schedule which allowed the City more time for internal review and additional public engagement efforts. Consequently, when additional meetings were requested for public engagement and presentation to City commission, the time saved from earlier phases allowed the project to continue in accordance with the original schedule on time and on budget. Quality Control/Quality Assurance Curtis + Rogers, since inception, has relied on an independent quality control methodology. Curtis + Rogers has implemented a Technical Quality Control Manual, which provides each employee with a comprehensive system of checklists for every aspect of production. The employee responsible reviews the checklists and ensures that the deliverable complies with all items covered in the checklist. Once the deliverable is completed, it is passed on to an independent reviewer, who once again will review the deliverable and ensure compliance with checklist and design and technical standards. The deliverable is redlined for corrections, returned to the responsible employee for incorporation of corrections prior to final delivery. The quality control reviewer, the Quality Control Principal, is the most experienced professionals of the firm – Aida Curtis having over 40 years of experience.
