Recreational demand was assessed through surveying 300 school children and holding 25 1 meetings with Miami Beach residents, parks . department personnel and City Hall officials. Each park was evaluated in terms of its use 1 and usability in relation to passive or active 1 use, neighborhood/region of the city in which 1 the park is located and how it functions in relation to the community at large. The firm compiled guidelines to be followed in con- struction on this $I5 million project over five years. The development plan showed every item to be implemented within the budget plus projects for the future if additional fund- , ing is secured. The guidelines also included recommendations for standard components to be used throughout the park system, cho- sen for durability, ease of maintenance and flexibility, plus cost savings when purchased in bulk. There were provisions for diversity as appropriate to suit the personality of each neighborhood and park. B&A also was selected to implement the Parks Master Plan. 1 1 1 1 1 1 IERMILLO•AJAMI 88888NERR•IN T F C i HOMESTEAD MOTORSPORTS COMPLEX Homestead, FL 1996 Award of Excellence,AIA Florida 1996 Project of the Year, ASCE Size: 360 acre Parking Space: 120 Bay Garage Cost $59 million Bermello, Ajamil & Partners was general consultant for design of the Metro -Dade Homestead Motorsports Complex. Services provided included architecture, civil engineering (track design, site engineering, water & sewer), planning and permitting, landscape architecture and interior design. The facility was uniquely designed to meet requirements of all the major racing sanctioning bodies, including NASCAR, IndyCar, SCCA, Formula One (FIA), IMSA and AMA (motorcycles). The Homestead Motorsports Complex was master - planned with consideration for the area's ecological fea- tures and neighboring land uses. The master plan includ- ed construction and expansion, development issues, and landscape and irrigation plans, as well as main entrance accent plantings, right-of-way plantings and landscaping the racetrack perimeter. Site development was a major issue, requiring planning and engineering of racing surfaces, grading, drainage and lake development. Extensive permitting with various jurisdictional agencies was also required, as was wetland mitigation. Site improvements include more than 4 miles of water and sewer mains, 5 miles of paved roads, 2 vehic- ular tunnels,a I -million -gallon elevated water tank, 31,500 linear feet of specialized barrier walls and 47,500 linear feet of cable -reinforced containment fencing. There is parking for 24,000 cars. Phase I encompassed 380,000 SF of new construction. The Homestead Motorsports Complex includes a 2.2- mile road circuit course and a 1.5-mile, four -turn oval track. Facilities include a grandstand, hospitality suites, concessions, and garage with corporate suites atop for observation of the pit row and paddock activities.

I 0 THE COLONNADE Miami, Florida Located on the Southwest quadrant at the intersection of Southwest 72nd Avenue and Southwest 82nd Street directly to the north of the internationally recognized Dadeland Mall in what will become Downtown Kendall, this project is part of the newly zoned district of the Downtown Kendall Urban Center Zoning District. This new district requires a pedestrian friend- ly environment with landscaped promenades, community parks, pedestrian arcades, buffered parking garages, habitable spaces fronting sidewalks, and building setbacks above all 5 story podi- um levels to reduce the scale of the buildings and maximized sunlight to the street scape. The client established a program that includes approximately 560 residential units with a mix ratio of 20/70/10, one bed- room, two bedrooms and three bedrooms respectively. A vari- ety of units were designed such as town home walk ups, pool courtyard units, traditional single level units and multilevel pent- house units. The program would also include common areas, landscaped courtyards, and retail spaces. These programmatic requirements were distributed into four buildings, each encom- passing the size of a city block with either pedestrian or vehic- ular access to all sides. This generated a series of buildings with no rear building facades. All exterior elevations have been designed as street frontage facades. All off-street parking struc- tures have been completely buffered, a two story colonnade fronts on 72nd Avenue and a community park has been locat- ed at the intersection of 72nd Avenue and 82nd Street as man- dated by the new zoning code. The project will be constructed in four phases, with phase I and II occurring simultaneously. These initial phases are scheduled to be completed by December of 2004. Phase III and IV are scheduled for completion in December 2005. BERM ELLO•AJA,E IL A►ARTNERB•I NC 0 R T F THE 1800 CLUB Miami, Florida 2002 Society of American Registered Architects Award for Design Excellence The 1800 Club is a 450-unit mixed -use high rise located on Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami's emerging Performing Arts Center neighborhood. City planners envisioned a signature skyline project that would encour- age public interaction with the adjacent waterfront park and promote a pedestrian friendly environment. As with any project of this magnitude, several public hearings were required to obtain a Major Use Special Permit. The design solution incorporates an "L"-shape plan with a sysmmetrical wing heights responding to the different scales of the surrounding neighborhood. A cylindrical corner "beacon" binds the two wings together. The overall tower is 40 stories wrapping a 9-story park- ing garage on an extremely tight site. The lobby level fea- tures a restaurant/outdoor cafe which serves to draw a crowd like the original"1800 Club". Above are two office floors followed by five "townhouse" floors. The ninth floor pool deck has an open breezeway to the bay through a double height "hole" in the main wing. Two story cabana units open to the pool and tennis court while two differ- ent residential floor plates achieve the desired unit ration in the tower. The structural system is post -tension con- crete built by flying forms. A blue-green glass with blue- green in lite with a low shading coefficient was chosen simultaneously for richness of color and to minimize air conditioning loads. The 1800 club is currently in the construction document phase. The total construction cost is $48.5 million / $55 per SF. O ERMELLO• AJAMIL 1. PAR TNER R•INC 0 i T F 0 I_ ; 0 SKYLINE ON BRICKELL Miami, Florida Skyline is a 360-unit residential high rise which occupies a high pro- file site on Miami's skyline. Located next to Arquitectonica's Miami Vice featured condominium the Atlantis, and the luxurious Bristol Tower, the primary challenge was to design a building that would enhance the downtown image while maintaining view corridors to Biscayne Bay. City planners and neighborhood input played a criti- cal role in the evolution of the project. Numerous public hearings were required to obtain a Major Use Special Permit. The design solution incorporates a slender rectangular glass tower with protruding elliptical balconies to maximize views and minimize the massing. The overall tower is 34 stories set on top of a three- story subterranean parking garage. The ground floor. lobby fea- tures a I06-foot curved glass wall overlooking the bay and includes tenant amenities such as business center, convenience store, and mail room. The second floor provides a party room, gym and stor- age space. Two different residential floor plates achieve the desired unit ratio. Like most projects, Skyline was budget driven and cost determined many decisions. Of primary consideration are the structural and glazing systems. The structural system is post -tension concrete built by flying forms. A blue-green glass with blue green inlite with a low shading coefficient was chosen simultaneously for richness of color and to minimize air conditioning loads. Skyline is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion.
