The Mana Wynwood Urban Topography project intents to improve the lives of the people that live in the Wynwood area, while at the same time keeping the urban essence that caracterizes the neighborhood. The city's low topography of warehouses is a consequence of Wynwood's initial purpose of providing large storage spaces for the Miami trading market.
​
Our main goal with this project was to create a building that wouldn't disrupt the topographical characteristics of the site but also make a statement that would represent the rapid expansion of the creative movement in the city of Wynwood.
​
This project was done in collaboration with the MANA Wynwood development group.
