509.1 Currie Park Towers

The project consists of two towers embedded within a lush park-like landscape extending from Currie Park on the east to the surrounding residential neighborhood on the west. One hundred and fifty-two apartments with extensive shaded terraces will share parking, residential and public amenities within a low plinth designed to minimize the impact on the surrounding streets and neighborhood. Tropical planting and views are prioritized over the standard elevated podium.

The Currie Park project provides a resilient approach to the specific conditions of the South Florida climate. Extensive shaded terraces, space for PV cells in the facade, and rainwater collection features are all prominent components of the architecture. At street level, an extensive park-like landscape enhances the pedestrian experience while an activated, public street-level program binds the project to the city around it.
