About this audio guide
This guide to the Miami Design District follows a young lawyer named Craig Robins walking through blocks of boarded-up former furniture showrooms and deciding to buy them anyway. It reaches back to the district's start as a pineapple farm turned furniture-selling quarter in the 1920s, and follows Robins's earlier work restoring South Beach's Art Deco hotels before he brought that same instinct here. Best heard walking the storefronts block by block.
