About This Project

Latin influences, Miami’s coastal vibe and Florida International University’s (FIU) progressive spirit inspire designs for this student housing community where international residents will live, study, relax and connect in culturally-rich comfort. Bold use of vivid blue colors, warm wood tones, graphic wallcoverings, and patterned flooring accentuate the authentic Latin aesthetic. A Cuban-style coffee bar serves as a touchstone in the main gathering space and fosters a feeling of home that anchors the students in an environment conducive to achievement and well-being.
