In collaboration with internationally acclaimed French architecture and urban design practice Coldefy, we are pleased to announce the selection of “The Porch” by architects and educators Elmer O. García and Olga Kusche-Iglesias, as the winning proposal for the “Triumphal Arch” Open Call.

This project emerged through Bakehouse Art Complex’s longstanding relationship with Villa Albertine and the French Consulate General in Miami, through which Bakehouse regularly hosts Villa Albertine residents and supports cultural exchange initiatives in South Florida and Paris. During their 2025 Villa Albertine residency in Miami, Coldefy principals Thomas Coldefy, Isabel Van Haute, and Zoltán Neville developed the concept and open call brief following visits to Bakehouse and conversations around the organization’s history, mission, and role within the Wynwood Norte community. Their residency in Miami, centered on green space integration, climate resilience, equity, affordability, and cultural diversity in urban environments, closely aligned with the Bakehouse’s vision for its community garden.

The open call invited Miami-based artists, architects, designers, and students to radically reinterpret the idea of a gateway or triumphal arch for a temporary community-centered public installation at Bakehouse’s expanding Wynwood Norte campus.

The selected proposal will serve as the entrance to a new temporary infill community garden and programming space adjacent to Bakehouse’s main campus located on a site recently acquired and reenvisioned for urban agricultural education, outdoor exhibitions, workshops, performances, and neighborhood gatherings.

The initiative was spearheaded by Philip Lique, Bakehouse’s Chief Strategist and Planner, with the intention of transforming the Bakehouse’s campus in service of its creative production as the institution evolves into a next-generation center for artistic production, fabrication, and public engagement.
