Bus routes will be staggered. Each bus will depart from hotel and begin the tour at a different residence. The architects for each home will be onsite to guide the tour and answer attendee questions. Each tour stop will last approximately 45 minutes. The tour will visit the following residences:
AQUA, Allison Island .
Dubbed a “tropical urbanist neighborhood,” AQUA is the brainchild of developer Craig Robins and town planners Duany Plater-Zyberk (DPZ). AQUA brings together luxury mid-rise multifamily buildings and town houses inspired by Miami 's waterside locale and its history as a modernist's town. Anchored at the water's edge, AQUA's three condominium buildings were designed by and named after Alison Spear , Walter Chatham , and Alexander Gorlin. AQUA's 46 town houses, or “island homes,” are the work of Hariri and Hariri , DPZ, Allan T. Shulman Architect , Suzanne Martinson Architects , and Brown Demandt Architects , and Albaisa Musumano Architects. Villa Allegra, Sunset Island III.
Architect Chad Oppenheim is changing the face of downtown Miami with his much-talked-about luxury high-rise condominium designs. Named by AIA Miami as Young Architect of the Year in 2001, he recently won an AIA Florida merit award for his own house on the Intracoastal Waterway , Villa Allegra. Strang Residence, Coconut Grove.
Architect Max Strang is rapidly developing a name for himself in South Florida as an architect sensitive to site, place, and the environment. His own house, which he calls “tropical industrial,” has recently won merit awards from both AIA Miami and AIA Florida. He was named AIA Miami's Young Architect of the Year in 2003.
