An institutional investor chose TVS for its corporate and investment grade office expertise. Waterford, master planned by TVS as 15 multi or single tenant buildings, shows a corporate style that would fit in any market with a contextual design unique to Miami. The buildings surround a series of deep lagoons oriented to Miami International Airport. Lush landscape and the water’s cooling effects contribute to sense of place, while softening the contemporary architecture. Since blinding sunlight can wash out building facades, TVS offset the effect with long sweeping curves. Yet the design exploits the abundance of light with precast concrete aggregate washed to a pinkish red and intensified by the sun. Contrasted with blue mirror glass, the look fits Miami in a polished business sense. Waterford at Blue Lagoon has maintained an occupancy rate at or near 100% from its inception in 1985. The client was able to accommodate Burger King Corporation with a new headquarters in just 24 months.
