FLEISCHER STUDIOS AFFORDABLE HOUSING
[SITE] Miami, Florida
[COMPLETION DATE] To be completed in 2028.
[ABSTRACT] This lot contains the historic Fleischer Animation Studio which produced cartoons like Betty Boop and Popeye. The building was built in 1939 and was wildly innovative for its time. Within has been tasked with revitalizing lot, proposing to restore the existing historic building to its original 1930s architecture and program it as an animation education and community center. The rest of the lot is proposed to house a new affordable housing complex designed by our office as well as a public park. The proposal highlights the iconic Art Deco design of the historic structure and promotes community integration as well as environmental responsiblity.
