Stirrup House
This famed Historic House was built by African-Bahamian immigrant Ebenezer Woodbury Stirrup who emigrated to Coconut Grove in 1888. Starting to work as a carpenter apprentice in Key West, and moved his family to Coconut Grove to work on James Deering’s pineapple farm. Through his entrepreneurial talent, became one of the largest landowners in this area, and built this two story Frame Vernacular house himself in 1897. This historic house, has been completely reconstructed and converted into a five Bedroom, Bed and Breakfast that has been successfully completed respecting the historical value of the existing house.
This project presented many challenges, starting with the archeology requirements to the frail condition of the structure. During the tedious process of constructing on a property that could not be demolished, our construction Team realized the value and skills of Mr Stirrup, having had a wood frame house that stood upright for over 120 years in our local climate. The care and dedication that ensued provided a beautiful preservation of the house, and accomplished the desired end to the developer and members of the Stirrup family. PKCG personnel, excelled in maintaining the historic value of the property, and are proud of having had the privilege of working on such a treasured Jewel in our community to its completion on 2019.

Felix Varela High School
This project involved one of a kind
design build finance of a public school for the Miami Dade County
Public Schools. As a pilot program for the School District, this
330,000 square foot facility was to be paid with impact fee moneys
collected by Dade County from nearby developments projects. As such
the process required a full range of experience from design to
finance. This very elaborate delivery method had not been utilized
in the area and was an extremely challenging process for both the
client and our principals. The tenacity and perseverance which we
displayed could only be measured by the results which were
ultimately obtained. This high school was built in record time and
at a reduced cost to the School System. It received numerous
benefits from the State resulting from comprehensive design which
related to the cost per student station. Our principals worked hand
in hand with the MDCPS to complete this project to their
satisfaction.
