Bakehouse Art Complex, in collaboration with French architecture and urban design practice Coldefy, has selected The Porch by architects and educators Elmer O. García and Olga Kusche-Iglesias as the winning proposal for its "Triumphal Arch" Open Call.
Conceived as a contemporary reimagining of the triumphal arch, The Porch draws inspiration from the social and architectural traditions of South Florida and the Caribbean. Constructed from aluminum tubing and repurposed lawn chair components, the design transforms the gateway into an inviting space for gathering, rest, and community exchange.
"The Porch stood out for its conceptual clarity, material ingenuity, and deeply local approach to public space," said the selection panel. "The proposal captures Bakehouse's commitment to creative innovation and community-building while transforming familiar everyday objects into an inviting architectural experience."
The installation will serve as the entrance to Bakehouse's new community garden and outdoor programming space in Wynwood Norte, supporting exhibitions, workshops, performances, and neighborhood events. Learn more HERE.
