1836 Biscayne Boulevard is a mixed-use development in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood that combines a 40-story residential tower with the adaptive reuse of the historic First Church of Christ Scientist building dating to the 1920s. The project integrates residential living, a robust amenity program, structured parking, and a reimagined event venue within a single site. Trinity Consultants is serving as the acoustical consultant, supporting both preservation goals and the high-performance expectations of modern residential and assembly spaces.

Vision

1836 Biscayne Boulevard brings together new construction and historic renovation to create a dynamic residential community anchored by a distinctive event space. The transformation of the 1920s church into a performance-capable venue introduces cultural programming into a primarily residential development, requiring careful acoustic integration. Looking ahead, the project is positioned to offer residents both vibrant social engagement and a quiet, comfortable living environment within one cohesive design.

Partnership

In support of Cube3 Architects’ design vision, Trinity Consultants is developing acoustic strategies that integrate seamlessly within the 40-story residential tower, the preserved historic church, and the active, amenity-rich podium. Our work aligns performance goals with architectural intent, ensuring residential comfort while meeting the technical demands of a performance-capable event venue.

Services Performed

Trinity provided careful acoustic integration to offer 1836 Biscayne Boulevard residents a vibrant but comfortable living environment.

Value-Add

The adaptive reuse of the existing church as an event space is a central acoustic design challenge. Because the venue will host special events, including music programming, the design incorporates robust demising construction and isolation elements to minimize sound transmission to the adjacent residential tower. Interior acoustic treatments are carefully integrated to provide a high-quality listening experience while respecting the character of the historic structure.

Detailed review of the amenity program ensures appropriate attenuation strategies are implemented for fitness areas, outdoor amenities, and social interaction spaces located within the podium. These measures mitigate potential sound transmission to residential units, supporting long-term occupant comfort while allowing active spaces to function as intended.

Working with Trinity allowed us to design exactly the space we wanted, while not compromising on our needs for confidentiality and flexibility. They made the process painless and considered every little detail.
