Please describe the project specifications

The Formula One Miami Grand Prix Paddock Project was a group of multi-level structures that made up the event’s Paddock and F1’s patented Paddock Club high end hospitality space.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The requirements of this project pushed the limits of what’s capable in the semi-permanent modular building space. Formula One’s Paddock pit structure specs have a substantial amount of requirements, and utilize a mix of permanent and semi-permanent infrastructure.

The first level served as the pit garages for the individual teams and drivers, but also provided the foundation for the upper hospitality levels. With a mix of enclosed climate-controlled spaces and open air terraces, the main paddock provided numerous expansive views for lucky patrons.

The enclosed portions of the main structure were cladded with custom stacked panoramic glass and insulated hard walls. The valance of this structure was treated with a custom fabric parapet printed with multiple intermediate interruptions on the run fabric panels to house LED Screens that broadcasted events live to guests seated in the opposing grandstand.

A complex system of exterior and interior staircases was integrated into the footprint of the structure to maximize usable space while still ensuring conformance to emergency codes.

After years of planning and almost half a year of installation, the inaugural race in Miami was ultimately a success.
