OMA's design of Faena Park, a 6-story, 235-car parking garage, elevates what parking structures can become. Located in a Miami Beach art district, the building’s elevators, which are exposed on the street, transport vehicles between levels while a prefabricated architectural facade of leaning elevations with angled perforations allows for adequate airflow with controlled views of the beach. The parking garage also includes two retail spaces: one on the ground level and the other above the parking levels.

To create a cavity between the prefabricated panels and the roofing system, the panels sit on specially designed pedestals — allowing them to be removed easily to access HVAC and support waterproofing.

The craftsmanship and precision of the white exterior speak to the high degree of coordination required across the entire design team. Faena Park bridges a gap between design and fabrication. The facade system relied on BIM technology and cutting-edge CNC technology to fabricate molds durable enough to achieve the high level of precision and uniformity required throughout the project.
