Miami Architecture Part 3. Continuing our architectural walk through Miami, we arrived at one of the city’s most radical statements of contemporary urban design: 1111 Lincoln Road.
Designed by Herzog & de Meuron and completed in 2010, the building is officially a parking garage, yet it was conceived as much more than infrastructure. Stacked concrete slabs, dramatically varied ceiling heights, and exposed structural elements transform a utilitarian program into an open, monumental framework. Retail spaces occupy the ground floor, while upper levels host events, fashion shows, and public gatherings, blurring the line between private development and civic space.
Positioned at the gateway of Lincoln Road, 1111 Lincoln Road has become a defining landmark of Miami Beach’s contemporary identity. It reflects a city willing to rethink function, scale, and public life, where even a parking structure can become an architectural destination.
For us this is one of the most impressice architectural highlights we saw in Miami and one we will have at top of our mind for a long time.
