This is a 6-level parking garage the is located in the historic Art Deco District in South Beach. This mixed-use development consist of historic Art Deco facades that have been restored and turned into viable retail shops. This was the first new construction in Miami Beach’s Art Deco District and it served as a test for other garages built in the following years. The upper garage facade is composed of grid patterned fiberglass components, incorporating horizontal wave designs, reflective of the ocean. Spanning the entire length of each elevation on all levels are planters with various types of vines and landscaping. The five stories of the parking structure become a vertical green zone in the historic District, a monumental sculpture about the ocean done in topiary. The program called for the reconstruction of the existing retail storefronts that were partially demolished. Once completed, the result was a nine-shop retail strip facing Collins Avenue called the “Stores at the Car Park.”
