CABANA BAY BEACH RESORT HOTEL, RESTAURANT, RETAIL ORLANDO
Myth and legend become reality in a new resort for a prominent hotel flag. S+A was the Design Architect for this major Florida resort hotel development, comprising over 1,800 rooms in 10 buildings surrounding an extensive pool and amenity area. The themed design evokes the glamour, optimism and playfulness of America at midcentury. Reminiscent without being “retro,” the design was carefully considered to create clean lines and elegant, reasonable spaces; it feels wholly new. The project was organized as a series of concentric layers alternating function and entertainment. Punctuated by a striking multi-tiered diving platform, the poolside becomes the central zone from which all activity for the resort is
generated. We named this area the “Toy Box,” evoking both fun and function. Various whimsical garden structures act as service pavilions, and picnic and game areas are located throughout this zone. These indoor-outdoor spaces allow guests a chance to revert to more playful identities, a “bathing suit existence.” Creating a room around the Toy Box, guestrooms are located in long narrow buildings punctuated by feature circulation nodes. These structures are more rational, defined by a modest and functional menu of modernist design elements and architectural details. These include cantilevered slabs (catwalks) and punctured roof projections, pylon stair towers, mesh balcony railings, captured gardens, and prominent signage characteristic of many postwar resort hotels.
“With Cabana Bay, the design team has taken an outsize commercial venture and used it to elevate the experience of the middle-market family vacation. Despite the staff’s bowling shirts, the ‘50s pop soundtrack, and vintage cars out front, the hotel does not lapse into nostalgia. “For me, the midcentury era represented a time of optimism, the feeling of endless possibilities,” says Shulman. The complex, with its logical spatial organization, clean lines, and jaunty vibe saluting simple pleasures, communicates this idealism while bringing dignity to a building type that typically lacks this quality. “ From Beth Broome, “Sunshine State of Mind: A colossal destination hotel riffs on midcentury design to create a new family vacation experience,” Architectural Record, June 2015

HOTEL, PRIVATE CLUB, SPA, RESTAURANT MIAMI BEACH
S+A designed this hotel and private club for the London-based Soho House group. Sited in a densely-populated area of Miami Beach, the project involved the restoration and retrofit of the historic Sovereign Hotel (1940) along with a new 15-story oceanfront tower. Overlooking the ocean, Soho Beach House includes 50 bedrooms, a private beach, a Cowshed Spa and gym. Amenities include two pools, indoor and outdoor dining, secluded gardens, a screening room and Cecconi’s restaurant, which is open to the public. The site lies at the northern edge of the Collins Waterfront Architectural District, listed on the National Register in 2011. It bridges diverse urban ecologies (massive hotels to the north and lower rise buildings to the south) both physically
and programmatically. Its tower acts as a punctuation point to the urban hotels southward. A rich array of program was added to the narrow, hemmed-in site, accommodating the mash-up of resort and club identities. S+A’s design promotes indooroutdoor connectivity with spaces flowing from street-facing entry court to the pool, garden, dune and ocean beyond. Separate topographies are vertically and horizontally layered within the site’s narrow open space. The extended historic courtyard is covered with a 100 foot long retractable awning, a technical feat that allows the courtyard to be both indoor and outdoor, and effectively house Cecconi’s. To make the most of the limited space, the site is terraced up toward the beach dune in a
manner that frames the pool deck. A suite of outdoor public spaces on the second floor similarly projects toward the ocean, capturing a terrace beneath the volume of the new tower. The tower’s twostory penthouse creates the final topography: staggered patios are tucked beneath a protective concrete canopy, creating a multilevel outdoor living room. The new tower sits in dialectic opposition to the historic hotel body. Whereas the historic hotel is a masonry box, the tower is its alter ego: a frame-like structure supporting cantilevered trays to maximize outdoor living space and indoor-outdoor connections. Aluminum brise-soleils along the face of the slender tower filter sunlight and enhance shade and privacy, allowing guests to comfortably experience the outdoors on the deep concrete slab balconies. 2014 Better Beach Award 2013 BLLA Lifestyle Hotel of the Year 2012 AIA Florida Merit Award 2012 Florida Trust Award 2011 Dade Heritage Trust Award 2011 ULI Vision Award - finalist 2009 AIA Miami Honor Award 2007 AIA Florida Honor Award

HOTEL, RESTAURANT, RETAIL MIAMI BEACH
A famed hotel of the 1930s, combined with an empty lot and two postwar apartment buildings, form the core and public façade of this new boutique hotel complex. Spanning four lots in the center of Miami Beach’s Architectural District, the project comprises approximately 28,000 SF of existing area in the three buildings to be restored, and 28,000 SF of new area in a series of five-story buildings to be constructed at the rear of the lot. A onestory addition on top of the old hotel completes the complex. The firm designed both the exterior and interior of the hotel. The new structure is built along the site’s rear property line, and is segment-
ed into pieces that respect the historic 50 foot lot structure of the Architectural District. Its northern pieces align with the width of the street-front historic buildings, separated with intimate landscaped patios framed with ivy screenwalls that transform each patio into an outdoor room.
The project amplifies the surrounding district’s characteristic preference for multiplicity and incremental expansion over singular large-scaled solutions. Its moderately-scaled, fine-grained structures reflect their context while introducing a new, contemporary layer to the site.
The focal point of the project is a courtyard patio, screened by the porches and canopies of the existing buildings, which will be used as a restaurant. The café space penetrates the first two floors of the new rear structure, creating a two-story high, indoor-outdoor dining room, closable with segmented glass and aluminum doors.

Both the new semi-private gardens and the existing open patio are part of a network of public and semiprivate spaces that make up the pedestrian network of Miami Beach. The resort’s corridors, lobbies, rooftop terraces, and patios are linked to Miami Beach’s streets, avenues, and alleyways, charting a clear path from private room to semiprivate lobby to public patio to the city to the beach.
The new rear addition is precisely syncopated to the width of the site’s historic buildings, imprinting the grain of historic South Miami Beach in the fabric of new structures. The district’s characteristic sideyards are maintained, yet owing to the project’s strategic location between resort and commercial districts, they are also capped with new stair and elevator towers.

The firm designed both the exterior building and interior spaces to create a cohesive experience for guests and visitors. Because the Fairwind site is limited in size, the concept of customary stand-alone spa was transformed into the notion of bringing spa functions into each guest room of the new addition.
Each guest room in the new addition features a “room spa,� screened from the main space by a patterned glass partition. The room spa includes a free-standing tub and vanity area, while a steam shower with wide range lighting options is pocketed in a concealed adjacent compartment. Wood floors and panelled walls add warmth, and artwork is incorporated into the architecture, within sliding panels and inserts in the drywall.

This project presented an extraordinary opportunity to repair and redefine the urban landscape in a central commercial area of South Miami Beach. Located along Collins Avenue, the site includes two empty lots on the south side of 12th Street that were being used as a gas station and two empty lots on the north side that were formerly the site of the a beloved historic hotel. The infamous demolition of that hotel in 1988 left both sides of 12th Street open and undeveloped, like missing teeth in the avenue’s smile. The site also included two historic apartment buildings which had already been converted to commercial use. The project embraces 12th

Street with new buildings that flank both sides, creating an entrance portal to the ocean from the Flamingo Park neighborhood. Eschewing a formal symmetry, the plan balances architectural features that express the uses of the buildings on each side of the street. The complex range of programs includes an 82-room hotel and restaurant, retail spaces, offices, residential units, a spa and a 160-car parking garage. The new five-story hotel and restaurant building, on the north side of 12th Street, comprises a slender bar form that wraps the street corner, tapers back to reveal the ocean, then turns to line the alley frontage.
A new four-story garage, on the south side of 12th Street, will employ a mechanical lift system for maximum efficiency. It presents retail frontage to the street and a spa complex that looks toward the ocean.

HOTEL, RESTAURANT MIAMI BEACH
This sensitive urban infill project creates a modern boutique hotel campus in the center of South Beach. Involving careful restoration and new construction, the project is both introspective and extroverted. Private and semi-private hotel spaces offer an oasis in a busy commercial neighborhood. The assemblage of buildings is respectful of the district’s fine-grained texture. Public space in the form of a new pedestrian park will be activated by the reopening of a long-dormant avenue fronting the site. The original hotel building, designed in 1930 by architect Henry Maloney, was restored and adapted to accommodate a ground floor restaurant. The restaurant
spills from the lobby on to the front terrace and wide landscaped sidewalk of Washington Avenue. New courtyards flank the building on both sides; new French doors and balconies connect the rooms on each level to the courts. An adjacent Mediterranean Revival villa (also Maloney, 1930), was restored and adaptively used as four townhouse units. Two new structures were inserted in the margins of the site. On the south side, a slender 5-story building was designed to fit the narrow available space. This single-loaded sliver employs townhouse-type units to achieve high efficiency, with corridors on only two of the five floors. Ground floor units open to private pa-
tios, while the upper floor units have access to private roof decks. On the north side, a new pool deck was inserted between the apartment building and a new cabana wing, whose two-story townhouse units open directly to the pool. This eclectic collection of related buildings crafts a more urbanistic solution than a homogenous approach. When tasked to expand and increase the density of a site within an urban district, a campus methodology -- incorporating existing building elements while adding a new layer -- expanded the complexity and richness of the surrounding fabric.

The buildings step up in height from north to south. Hedges and garden walls frame entrances to a complex of courtyards recessed from the street.
One goal of the design for this hotel campus was to reinforce the historic corridor of Washington Avenue. The infill of new structures and interstitial spaces created a more continuous and dense urban core.

The two existing buildings on the site had remained intact since their construction with only small renovations noted in the intervening 70+ years. The new project’s sustainability flows from the adaptive use of its existing buildings and their embodied resources.
SOUTH SEAS HOTEL HOTEL MIAMI BEACH
The South Seas hotel demonstrates the potential of the Miami Beach hotel for qualitative and quantitative growth. The original three-story Art Deco hotel, designed by L. Murray Dixon in 1942, had already been expanded in 1952 with a seven-story addition on the oceanfront side. S+A’s new design mixed restoration of key elements of the building with subtractions and additions that produced higher-quality rooms and spaces. The adaptive use of the ground floor in particular created a new flow of public open space between the lobby and the beachfront pool; removal of ground floor rooms allowed the diversification and expansion of hotel services,
72
including an improved restaurant and lounge, a business center and conference rooms, a fitness room and expanded back of house areas. One key strategy was the careful removal of several rooms in the center of the building, creating a landscaped interior patio at the heart of the old structure. Another key strategy was the development of a new sevenstory room wing attaching to the existing oceanfront tower. The new wing, which required careful placement, reinterprets the playful architectural syntax of projecting planes found in the 1950s tower. A two-story cabana structure and new pool will be constructed behind the building,

The original oceanfront hotel predated the incorporation of Miami Beach, and even the road on which the structure stands. As the fronting road was expanded, the front porch and entry were cut off. To reestablish the look and feel of the original, and because the ground-floor concrete piers were disintegrating, the building was stabilized, lifted, and moved back 15 ft. This allowed for a stronger foundation and reconstruction of the front porch. After extensive historic research, probing, and exploratory demolition, a more complete understanding of the original structural and finishing systems emerged. The stucco cocoon, installed in the 1930’s, was removed and the wood components of the facades were stripped and sanded, or replaced. Original materials were used throughout.

RESORT, BEACH CLUB, SPA MIAMI BEACH
In an area of Miami Beach redeveloped in the 1970s and characterized by massive slabtype apartment buildings, this project proposes to reinvigorate two historic hotels with intimately-scaled contemporary additions that reinvest the site into its urban context. The new project integrates the program of a modern resort: guest rooms, gourmet dining, spa, conference rooms, and state-of-theart back-of-house facilities. Restoration of two existing historic structures and addition of four new building components with over 81,000 SF of new residential and commercial space will comprise the project, which includes a 145,000 SF boutique hotel with 134 units spread
over four oceanfront lots. Endowed with historic resources yet hampered somewhat by its surrounding buildings, this sensitive site presented the challenge of developing significant square footage. The new area was strategically broken down into four moderately-scaled structures. Gracious features of the site, like an expansive interstitial patio with through-views from the street to the ocean are maintained. Existing buildings were expanded by adding recessed apartment penthouses with private roof terraces.

In order to maintain wide view corridors, the three new ocean-facing buildings were designed as separate, permeable slivers. Each seven-story end sliver aligns and caps the historic structure behind. They
The overall project reflects an incremental, rather than radical, approach, to adaptive re-use. It synthesizes old and new in a way that maintains the discrete character and dignity of each.
On the streetfront, a new twostory restaurant fills the gap between the two existing buildings. Articulated as a glass box, it nuances views to the patio and ocean behind and discreetly defers to its historic neighbors, while knitting them together.

SAGAMORE ART HOTEL HOTEL, PRIVATE COLLECTION MIAMI BEACH
The Sagamore Hotel, on the Ocean, north of Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, was one of the first postwar hotels to be fully renovated. S+A oversaw the restoration of the building’s historic facade and lobby spaces and designed the new rooftop cabana penthouse. The main lobby’s restored terrazzo floors, plaster fireplace, soffited ceiling and multiple-lighting reveals with indirect tube lighting hew to the lines of Art Deco, but also clearly embrace the austerity of the 1940’s. Its crisp modern lines were married with the developers’ contemporary art collection, for which the space serves as a gallery.

GREYSTONE HOTEL + SPA HOTEL, SPA MIAMI BEACH
S+A designed the restoration and adaptive reuse of the historic Greystone Hotel as a Russian spa, preserving the 1939 building, which was designed by significant Miami Beach architect Henry Hohauser. The historic art deco lobby and outdoor terrace are preserved, and a restaurant and lounge are both added. The upper stories will contain the private member’s spa, spread over two full floors, and new roof garden on the fourth level. The spa contains a salon, Russian baths, and a Hammam, among a variety of other specialized spaces. The roof garden is a Babylonian retreat of greenery hidden by the high parapet of the building’s façade.

The rooftop is a semi-private lounge and sun deck that maintains the eclectic feel of the hotel spa in a luscious and luxurious environment. The bar location allows service to the main lounge as well as the sun deck. The lounge furniture is unique, mixing modern dark rattan sofas and chaises with interesting designer pieces and colorful rod iron traditional chairs. On the west side is a sun deck tea garden, cabana area equipped with jacuzzi, and private suite balconies with large oak soaking tubs. 113
Historical Context. This iconic art deco hotel was built in 1939. The exterior features will be restored to it’s original condition as well as an accurate historic renovation of this famed hotel’s lobby. 114

Spa. The spa occupies the second and third floor, sharing space in the east portion for the salon. The salon’s location is intentional, utilizing the busy Washington Avenue storefront as a marketing tool. The restaurant and lobby inhabits the first floor. This allows the restaurant, turn club in the evening, to use the ramp access along the south side of the building, providing space for long lines. Guestrooms are on the third floor with private access to rooftop suites via a glass enclosed spiral staircase. Treatment rooms with rear access to the back of house area line the main corridor on the third floor. The relaxation room is also located on the third floor. A large flex space located above the salon is an adaptable and rentable space for a business or events.
Hamam. This marble cladded treatment area is directly influenced by traditional Turkish bathhouses. Like these ancient spas, stone covers most of the surfaces. Long built in heated seating wraps around the perimeter to allow space for traditional lay-down treatments involving message, scrubs, and suds. Wash basins are available throughout the space providing water to rinse and refresh the users. A large central star shaped stone table serves as a larger treatment space and the visual focal point of the space. The lighting level is low and fixtures are hidden to give a more genuine experience.
HOTEL INDIGO HOTEL NORTH MIAMI
S+A designed the interiors of the Hotel Indigo (building by Arquitectoncia) at Biscayne Landing, a mixed-use megaproject in North Miami on the planned site of the fabled Interama, a World’s Fair project that never was. The flag, Hotel Indigo, encouraged a design specific to Miami and the history of the site; S+A drew inspiration from Interama as well as the adjacent nature preserve, integrating moments of a cool midcentury modern aesthetic with more organic shapes and natural materials to create a comfortable, friendly yet forward-thinking environment.

PINK SANDS RESORT HOTEL HARBOUR ISLAND, BAHAMAS
For former owner Chris Blackwell, S+A designed a Master Plan, developed villa types, and did the preliminary design of all buildings at Pink Sands. S+A’s design for the resort comprised 25 cottages tucked privately into a lush tropical landscape. S+A was commisioned to design new residential and public buildings as well as roads, gates, walkways, and landscaping for the entire 18-acre site. The project also involved expanding the development with approximately 40 new units and miscellaneous support structures and amenities. The project sprang from a master plan developed in 2004

by the firm. New units in this plan included condominium maisonette buildings, a hotel, patio villas, and poolside cabanas. Facilities include “back of house” improvements and expansion, restaurant enlargement, new pool and private sundecks, cafe and deli, and thalassotherapy spa.
