Grove Central is an award-winning, mixed-use, transit-oriented development designed for sustainable urban living. Located in historic Coconut Grove, this project sits next to Miami’s Metrorail and bus stations, creating additional housing for the area’s community alongside multi-modal transit systems. Grove Centrals offers 402 residential units and over 100,000 square feet of retail, while promoting a car-free lifestyle bolstered by access to the area’s Underline pedestrian trail. Careful thought was given to how viewers would encounter the architecture from different vantage points at varying speeds (i.e. trains, cars, bikes, and on foot).
The design for Grove Central is bold, graphic, and fun, incorporating aspects of Miami’s Streamline Modern and Mid-Century Modern tradition. For instance, the floating canopies above the bus stop reference Morris Lapidus’s work while the strong curves of the parking garage structure harken to Miami Beach’s Mid-Century Modernism. The tower plays with alternating gray and white infill patterns between bold accent lines that open towards the top.
Grove Central is certified at the highest green building standards, featuring cutting-edge technology such as rooftop solar trellises and a large micro-grid battery, which would provide stable power to this multi-use hub.
The design reflects Miami’s architectural heritage while connecting residents to Coconut Grove’s arboreal and walkable neighborhood. The residential tower was designed as a series of spaces that emulate the experience of moving up through a tree—from a dense understory to the dappled light of a canopy, to open sky.
The lowest floors of the tower reflect the understory of a forest with its lush foliage and heavily filtered light. The middle section of the tower mimics the canopy level, where light more easily permeates through the tree’s leaves, creating dancing patterns. The upper floors, with their brighter palette, evoke the open sky above the trees from where the bay can finally be seen at a distance. The corresponding interior palette in tones of gray, greens, and blues anchor the design narrative more concretely.
Materials like reclaimed wood, Florida Keystone, and natural ropelike fibers evoke a strong sense of place rooted in Miami’s coastal identity. Shared spaces, including a Sky Lobby, coworking areas, and lounges allow for community building across Grove Central’s residential tower.
Interiors draw inspiration from the natural environment, and the building is equipped for climate resilience and future energy systems. Grove Central is not just a transit hub, but a forward-looking, community-centered model for integrating design, infrastructure, and sustainability in a coastal urban setting.
“Grove Central is … a shining example of a what mixed-use, transit-oriented development can do for a growing community. Projects like this are the future of Miami-Dade, and a key part of making our community more livable and walkable" - Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade County Mayor
