Project: Father Marquess-Barry Apartments

Type: Senior Housing

Location: Miami, FL

Firm: B Pila Design Studio

For this project, my responsibilities included co-creating and designing the lobby and common areas, including the leasing offices, gym, multi-purpose room, mailbox area, and restrooms. I also made material selections for all units and corridors, specifying all materials, lighting, plumbing, and appliances. I presented the design concepts to the developer's team and managed project execution during the construction administration phase through to completion. Additionally, I collaborated in selecting all furnishings, accessories, and art for the final installation.

We had the honor of meeting Father Marquess Barry and understanding his vision for his community. The design was infused with his passion, and we brought to life this indoor park concept for the residents to enjoy all year round. The very generous size community room can host events and entertain tenants in all of their activities, carrying the vibes and the colors of the Caribbean.
