Please describe the project specifications

A FlexFacades tensile facade with custom graphics achieved the owners' goal of turning an otherwise unremarkable parking garage into a point of visual interest and a reflection of the neighborhood's culture. Located in downtown Miami, Wynwood Square is a mixed-use development in downtown Miami that includes retail space, studio space, office space, residential units, and a parking garage. The facade's graffiti-inspired graphics are inspired by the arts culture of the Wynwood neighborhood, including The Wynwood Walls, an outdoor museum of graffiti and street art. The tensile facade provided an effective value-engineering solution that resulted in cost savings for the owner. Structurflex's expertise made it possible to attach the new facade to the existing building.
