Humanoids
Red Door Construction coordinated and executed the installation of the Humanoids sculpture series within the Miami Design District. The project involved international logistics with a Netherlands-based fabricator, along with the engineering, foundation construction, and on-site installation of multiple large-scale sculptures integrated into a landscaped public environment.
Scope of Work
• Coordination of international shipping and delivery logistics
• Handling and placement of large-scale sculptural elements
• Engineering coordination for structural support and anchoring systems
• Construction of custom foundations for each sculpture
• Site preparation within active landscaped areas
• Coordination with designers, fabricators, and local stakeholders
• Final placement and alignment of sculptures within the site
Key Features
• Installation of multiple large-scale sculptural elements
• Integration within a landscaped, pedestrian-focused environment
• Custom-engineered foundations tailored to each piece
• Durable installation designed for long-term outdoor exposure
• Precise positioning to align with overall site design and circulation
Construction Challenges
The project required coordination across international teams, including scheduling, transportation, and handling of oversized sculptural components. Installation within an active, landscaped environment required careful protection of existing vegetation and site features. Each sculpture required precise foundation work and alignment to ensure both structural stability and design intent were achieved.
Outcome
The completed installation contributes to the Miami Design District’s public art program, creating a distinctive and immersive outdoor experience. Through careful coordination and technical execution, Red Door Construction successfully delivered a complex installation that combines art, engineering, and site integration.
