WA was retained by Braman to provide complete architectural and engineering professional design services for a new automotive showroom and vehicle storage facility. The total area of the facility is in excess of 500,000 SF, seven levels with storage capabilities for 1,600 cars. Showrooms are located on the ground floor and partial second floor with a combined area of approximately 90,000 SF. Initially, the showrooms are for pre-owned BMW's and new Rolls-Royce cars. An interior, monumental stair is strategically located to entice and facilitate access to the second floor showroom.
As part of the services provided by WA, as a result of its use in this zone, the project required approval under the recently adopted Miami 21 Zoning Code.
In a collaborative gesture, the Braman building incorporates areas for large murals to be integrated within the exterior elevations. These removable fabric based murals will be available to the students of the Young Arts Museum to display art work and is an extension of the artistic Wynwood area. |
