At Miami’s Coconut Grove, OMA Designs Luxe Residences Around Views and Landscaping

In the original scheme for Park Grove, a development in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood, OMA foregrounded flows and dispersion. The plan imagined six towers occupying the property, the spaces between them lending views of the ocean. One of the site’s greatest assets is its waterfront connection, on the edge of Biscayne Bay, a feature exploited by many of the area’s developers. The trend had resulted in a veritable wall of rectilinear buildings that offered maximum frontage for tower residents, while blocking views for everyone else.
