Brittany Bay Park

Inspire provided the master plan and landscape architectural construction documents for the integration of a waterside promenade and “living shoreline” into the City of Miami Beach’s Brittany Bay Park. To meet the City’s desire to address sea level rise and a failing seawall, Inspire created a “living shoreline” environment between the existing seawall and the new seawall, which is four-feet higher in elevation. A comfortable eight-foot-wide pedestrian promenade parallels the new seawall. To increate access to the basin environment and the adjacent waterway, Inspire introduced three overlooks that extend across the living shoreline and to the water’s edge. Inlets at the north and south ends of the basin allow tidal seawater from Biscayne Bay to flush the basin. Photo credit to Brindley Pieters.
