As the local Architect, our role was to ensure the design from the planners (Bowie Gridley) fit into the rich history and legacy of the historic Ransom Campus. We did the historical research and developed the palette and character booklet for the property. Alongside the rest of the Ransom Everglades School Campus Master Plan Team, we assisted in the process associated with the development of the Special Area Plan and its submittal to the City of Miami. We worked collaboratively and successfully with Bowie Gridley who authored the Master Plan and program to get the necessary SAP approvals.
As advisors to the team on design, we also created a site BIM Model, all the site sections of the site, and the historical research and report. Touzet Studio photographed and assembled the documentation to help establish the palette of materials and lists of architectural characteristics that the City required be a part of the SAP. These SAP documents serve to act as a guideline for future development of the Ransom Site. For the SAP 2 of La Brisa, we participated in multiple meetings and advised on appropriate development sites and strategies as the local Architect.

Located in a dynamic community in the heart of Miami Beach’s Entertainment District, the Urbin Retreat project includes a new 48,000 SF building of co-living units, Boutique Extended Hotel Suites, and micro retail adjacent to a full restoration of a mid-century modern office building.
Urbin Retreat will include several resiliency initiatives such as elevated front porches with cisterns below, a ground floor designed for 5’ freeboard, and rain water gardens that capture and clean run-off from the roof. Solar panels on the rooftop will provide LEED lighting for community.
Miami Beach’s materiality and iconic colors are highlighted in this project which also happens to be located directly next to two significant historic buildings. Custom features such as breeze block and metal space dividers will be developed to customize the architectural vocabulary while providing important shading. An urban plaza with shady trees provides protection from the heat, and the planting and finishes of the ground floor were designed with water in mind.
