mixed-use, building repositioning | Miami, FL

This building repositioning project in Brickell, Miami’s financial district, involved a complete reimagining of the arrival level experience and the redefinition of key spaces within a newly acquired office tower. Tasked by the ownership team to enhance the building's overall look and program, our design concept transformed the entire arrival experience and introduced valuable amenities. The project also included the redesign of the lobby finishes and the revitalization of select upper floors, enhancing the overall tenant experience. These floors now feature modernized common areas and flexible workspaces, designed to improve both productivity and comfort for those who occupy the building.
A key component of the redesign was the addition of retail and food & beverage (F&B) spaces at the prominent corner of 13th Street and Brickell Avenue, activating an underutilized area and creating a vibrant destination for both tenants and pedestrians.

Our approach focused on modernizing and energizing the building’s public spaces, beginning with the arrival level. The redesign of the lobby finishes incorporates contemporary materials and design elements that elevate the space, creating a more welcoming and dynamic environment for visitors and tenants. The introduction of retail and F&B spaces at the corner of 13th Street and Brickell Avenue transforms the area into a lively, pedestrian-friendly destination, activating the corner and creating value for both the owner and the community.
The project successfully enhances the value of the tower, not only improving its appeal to prospective tenants but also contributing to the overall energy and vibrancy of the Brickell district.
