Cultural Arts & Innovation District – Entry Features

North Miami, FL

Challenged by restrictive site configurations, the design team created a branding and land use plan to distinguish the reimagined neighborhood as a destination. The plan focuses on distinctive signage and other branding identity; widening sidewalks for building setbacks; on small pods of communal space and eco-friendly landscaped plazas, dotted by benches for pedestrian comfort; bicycle safety, access, and security; and easy access to services, shops, residences, and parking.
