Wynwood Steps Mixed-Use Concept Architecture

Project Type: Concept Architecture
Project Status: Completed
Dates: April 2016
Site Area: 1.75 AC
Team: Plusurbia Design
Client: Goldman

Plusurbia was tasked to create an innovative way to intertwine public and private space in a mixed-use project for one of the most prominent sites in the Wynwood Arts District.

The Project combines the street-level pedestrian experience, creative office, and retail space through a seamless circulation strategy. It created an outdoor amphitheater-stepped seating space using a recessed gran stair overlooking the street combined with native landscaping. The design also considered pedestrians’ circulation to access public and private areas.

The result is a beautiful and vibrant place that perfectly complements the surrounding district while providing a safe, comfortable, and inviting experience to all who visit. Given its location and the civic space provided, the project has an iconic identity, showing that urban design can be both aesthetically and functionally successful when thoughtfully designed.

This project is also a great example of how sustainability can be integrated into design through landscape, featuring native species and drought-tolerant plants requiring minimal maintenance.
The design indicates how urban design can bring communities together, create beauty in the cityscape, and positively impact the environment. It is an inspiring example of how responsible urban planning and design can make our cities more livable, sustainable, and enjoyable. Plusurbia is committed to creating resilient cities with projects like this one that demonstrate how thoughtful design can promote social inclusion and environmental stewardship.
