Overtown Park

Miami, Florida | with Glavovic Studio

The Overtown Park project envisions a transformative development in the heart of historic Overtown, Miami, once divided from Downtown by I-95. Our initiative aims to weave together a dynamic space for living, working, and recreation, fostering seamless connections with neighborhoods east of I-95. At the core of our vision lies Overtown Park's east-to-west Public Plaza, acting as a magnetic force drawing residents and visitors from Downtown into the lively Overtown community. This public space becomes a pivotal gathering point, complemented by the proposed Common Grounds coffee shop on NW 3rd Court, designed to capture attention and frame the entrance to the vibrant community spaces.

Two strategically positioned mixed-use buildings frame the site, activating street fronts on three sides. Oriented east-to-west, these structures maximize daylight without compromising on direct sun exposure. Overtown Park North's community terrace offers panoramic views of Miami, creating a visual link between Overtown and the broader cityscape. The intentional modern design seamlessly integrates elements reflective of Overtown's rich history, incorporating warm materials and vibrant colors throughout exterior spaces, garage screens, and the Public Plaza. Overtown Park stands as an iconic testament, inviting everyone to partake in and contribute to the unique lifestyle flourishing in this revitalized community.
