MOHAWK WYNWOOD

Mohawk is a mixed-use Highrise located in the Wynwood arts district of Miami. The project takes root from the 70’s -80’s UK and New York punk. The materiality, scale of various elements and color contrast of the building are used to express the hard-edged and fast paced nature of the time and in turn makes the building standout from the norm. The project is designed to have 225 luxury rental units and 30,000 Sf of Retail, office space, Healthclub and multiple Rooftop amenities.

Informed by the location, the architecture opens towards the east, referencing the volcanic formations of the region, using the materiality of traditional Icelandic architecture.  Sustainable, vertical wood siding is stained in a weathered black and weather treated.  This is a direct reference to the traditional Icelandic black house, historically treated with tar to protect the wood from the elements.  Baltic Driftwood used for the all doors and millwork, naturally strengthened and treated through its journey to Iceland in the saltwater.  Turf roofs refer to traditional Icelandic structures to insulate the guest house rooms, while harmoniously connecting to nature and forging a sustainable design.
