Museum Garage

Museum Garage is a working parking structure at 90 NE 41st St in the Miami Design District that doubles as an architecture landmark. Developer Craig Robins commissioned architect and curator Terence Riley in 2015 to shape the concept, and the facades were assigned to WORKac, J.

Mayer H., Clavel Arquitectos, Nicolas Buffe and Riley's own firm K/R, with TimHaahs as architect of record.

Riley took inspiration from the surrealist parlor game Exquisite Corpse, so each designer built a fully individual section that flows into one playful composition. WORKac's Ant Farm facade faces 1st Avenue and shows miniature public spaces such as a garden, lending library, art space and playground behind a perforated metal screen.

Guests come to walk the ramps, ride the elevator to the top floor, try the slide mentioned in reviews and take photos of the facades. The structure holds about 800 vehicles and has ground-floor retail.

Viewing the building costs nothing beyond parking fees if you drive in, and it sits among the Design District's public art and boutiques.
