DFormA - Wynwood Arcade

Before launching Studio SJ in 2018, founder S. Jazmine Fugate worked for over a decade at the offices of other architects.  While at DFormA as a Senior Architect and Project Manager from 2015-2018, she focused on bespoke retail, industrial, and public spaces and developed a passion for adaptive reuse.

DFormA designed this project for East End Capital, who had acquired adjacent unconnected warehouses. DFormA proposed a radical facade intervention, central amphitheater, and porous retail and food programming on both ground level and rooftop. Fugate led the project from design development through the difficult City of Miami approvals process and throughout the challenging construction phase.  The project won an AIA Miami design award.  Mural by Tristan Eaton.
