Reimagining the City: Wilton Manors is a competition proposal that envisions a new mixed-use complex and community center for the city.
The center of the site creates a new public plaza that features green spaces, water ponds, and ample seating, allowing for various public activities. Pedestrian and vehicular internal passages are provided at ground level to allow for fluid circulation through and around the block. By lifting the east portion of the building and leaving the west side of the site open, the new pedestrian plaza becomes a connector between Hagen Park to the east and Jay Cee’s Park to the West.
By concentrating the building mass on the north and south edges of the site, the project is integrated into the existing fabric of the city, complementing the nearby scales and uses.
