Landscape Design Workshop Wins 2nd Gold
(New York, NY – June 17, 2025) Landscape Design Workshop has earned its second Gold in the 2025 Rome Design Awards competition for its MidTown Miami project, created for AMLI Residential. Honored in the Architectural Design – Water Features & Fountains category, the recognition celebrates the project’s sculptural water elements, integration of sustainable systems, and their contribution to a rich, multisensory public experience.
The Rome Design Awards celebrate visionary architecture that shapes the built environment. This recognition highlights AMLI MidTown Miami as an exemplary fusion of aesthetic excellence, sustainability, and community-driven design.
“The water features add a unique sense of character to the space,” said Jenifer Bar-Nur, Director of Marketing at Landscape Design Workshop. “It helps soften the urban environment and create places where people naturally slow down and spend time. It’s great to see that contribution acknowledged with this award.”
Landscape Design Workshop extends its gratitude to AMLI Residential and all collaborators who contributed to the success of AMLI Midtown Miami.
Water is central to AMLI MidTown’s sensory experience, introducing movement, cooling effects, and auditory relief.
About the Project
AMLI MidTown Miami, a three-block-long housing development in downtown Miami, transforms a former railyard into a verdant, multi-layered urban sanctuary. Spanning 6.5 acres, the LEED-Platinum-certified complex integrates nearly four acres of lush landscape across three levels, fostering a connection with nature.
Water is central to AMLI MidTown’s sensory experience, introducing movement, cooling effects, and auditory relief throughout the development. Flowing water buffers city noise, creating a tranquil transition into residential spaces, while reflective pools enhance the atmosphere, offering visual serenity and passive cooling. Cascading fountains animate the skyline, softening the contrast between built environments and nature, mitigating heat, and enveloping residents in a soothing soundscape. Spread across the ground level and three elevated amenity decks, these water features create a seamless vertical interplay, weaving through the landscape to shape the microclimate, improve air quality, and cultivate a restorative urban sanctuary.
