Artist Workforce Housing / The Anamar is now open!

To combat a crisis of affordability in Miami Beach, the City set aside open City-owned lots for workforce housing development. This project in the Collins Park neighborhood develops one such lot near the city’s Cultural Campus, next door to the S+A-designed Collins Park Garage.

“Tropical architecture has constantly tested and expanded the limits of traditional thinking about architecture. The power of rain, sun, wind, and humidity are determinative. Beyond objective criteria, the question of identity in the tropical world has inspired countless iterations of adaptive architecture. The idea of tropical architecture seems relevant once again. Shedding Skin: new approaches to making facades in the tropical world will examine how practices in this dynamic area are changing and engaging new paradigms.”
