David Corban Architecture Wins Metal Architecture Design AwardThe Honor Recognizes Their Groundbreaking Work on Celebration Park in Naples
By: David Corban Architecture According to the announcement from Metal Architecture, "The honest expression of the structure, and the simplicity of the space, led the judges to award it the 2019 Metal Architecture Design Award in the Natural Metals category." David Corban worked closely with owner Rebecca Maddox to devise a gathering place that would be unique to and seamless with Southwest Florida. Consistent with both Corban's and Maddox's goals, the project was intentionally located in a community redevelopment area (CRA). Their objective was to create a highly accessible and welcoming destination, based in thoughtful and sustainable design. A testament to their vision, from its first opening in November 2018, Celebration Park was fully embraced by locals as a must-visit establishment for food, drink, and coming together. Materials were strategically chosen to complement the environment, creating a structure that is light, durable, and in visual harmony with its surroundings. A secondary, key focus was to build in a way that would be ecologically resilient. Corban notes that the open roof mimics architectural designs historically employed by native Floridians and Florida Crackers that optimize airflow. The integration of 100 percent recycled steel, permeable pavers, native landscaping, and a mangrove preserve successfully evokes the natural setting.
