Located across the street from the Atlantic Ocean, the abandoned North Miami Beach West Lots are void of any current programming. Aside from the existing skatepark, the numerous parking lots, and the palm trees scattered about, these lots lack the infrastructure and development that could turn them into the next great Lincoln Road. This studio project required individuals to develop a master plan framework spanning all eight lots that which would guide developers in their work. Building character and scale, street and circulation paths, public vs private realms, open spaces, housing, and parking needs were considered throughout the semester.
