PlusUrbia Design was honored by the Miami Today‘s 2018 Gold Medal Awards competition earning the Bronze Medal for an organization.
Our boutique
studio was eligible for the award because it won the 2017 American Planning
Association’s APA National Economic Development Plan Award for its Wynwood
Neighborhood Revitalization District plan. PlusUrbia earned the Gold Medal
Award for its context-sensitive, community-based planning.
It submitted a brief
portfolio to the Miami Today judges that emphasized innovative urban
design that promotes multimodal mobility, affordability, and connectivity that
enhances quality of life. Our studio has emphasized healthy living through
access to open space, public transit, affordable housing, mixed-use
development, active recreation and safe complete streets.
“My father,
a lawyer and published author, wrote about ethics and the social role and
responsibilities of Corporations, instilled in me a sincere sense of Community
Service,” said PlusUrbia Founding Principal Juan Mullerat. “This instilled in
me this sense of service, which we practice in our studio through non-profit
projects.”
PlusUrbia
has donated more than 1,000 professional hours to the ongoing Master Planning
for a Healthy and Resilient Little Havana, in collaboration with the National
Trust for Historic Preservation and the Health Foundation of South Florida.
Our
12-person studio has devoted more than two years listening to residents and
crafting an Action Plan to improve the lives of one of the poorest, most
unique, socially and demographically rich neighborhoods in the nation.
“Our office
has worked very hard and continues to push the envelope, delivering innovative
solutions on issues that shape our built environment,” Mullerat said. “Our
projects focus on transportation, affordable housing strategies, open space –
all of which have profound impact on everybody’s life.”
Whether it
is a Transit Oriented Development, Community Redevelopment Agency, Business
Improvement District, Transit Corridor, Action Plan or Visioning Exercise –
PlusUrbia’s work focuses on outcomes that support healthy living in urban
areas.
