Bringing the City into the Building Blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor space
Concept • Bringing the city into the building giving its guests access to the amenities of the city. How will we accomplish this? • Connecting to the Culture • Plazas on ground level and throughout building • Gardens throughout building • Transportation Hub • City Grid through building/ Indoor Street • Very open and public base with more private upper floors
What is South Florida? • Bring the culture of the city to the people staying at the hotel Bright Colors Night Life Warm Tropical Climate Heavy tourist area Diversity- both culture and in population Active- water sports, beach sports, and healthy attitude toward life Compromising with nature- constantly in a battle with Florida’s swamps, hurricanes, and intense sunshine
Public Plaza A public plaza is a community amenity that serves a variety of users including building tenants, visitors and members of the public. This space type may function as pedestrian site arrival points, homes for public art and settings for recreation. Plazas are a beneficial feature of any lively streetscape. Programmatically, plazas are strongly linked to the lobby space. Both are a public face of the building that welcomes and orients visitors.
Public Plaza Space Attributes • Accessible • Aesthetics • Cost-Effective • Functional/Operational • Productive • Secure/Safe • Sustainable
Plazas and Gardens • Allow the outdoors to blend in with the indoor spaces • Place plazas and gardens throughout the building to break up the typical double corridor hotel design • Various levels of public meeting are typical to the city
Open Plaza connecting various programs Shenzen Museum Square
Techniques to Accomplish Plazas and Gardens • Twist or push/pull
Transportation Hub Allow for bus, pedestrian, taxi, rollerblading, kayaking, and other modes of transportation to be easily accessible in the building
Lobby Includes foyers, entries to halls, and security screening areas at or near the entrance to a building. Meant to welcome and direct guests and visitors, control access, and provide exit ways from buildings. The character and function of a lobby space often influence a visitor’s first impression upon entering a building. Key design concerns for this space type include balancing aesthetics, security, and operational considerations.
Retail/ Lobby on Street Level Lift retail/lobby and slide parking underneath Place more private hotel and medical center on top Three basic components to building
In addition to the regular program We have decided that it would be a great opportunity for the hotel/medical center to connect with the community by providing retail spaces supplied by local businesses. These spaces will not only provide a profit to the investors, but will encourage the local community to visit the center as well as interact with the hotel guests.
Restaurants • Providing a variety of restaurant choices will encourage the public to return more often and will give the hotel guests more choices of places to dine. • Each restaurant will be roughly 1500-2000 square feet.
Retail Shops • Local retailers may choose to rent our available spaces to attract business from locals as well as hotel guests. • Each retail space will be roughly 1500-3000 square feet.
Transit/Rentals • We have decided to promote tourism for Ft. Lauderdale by providing transit hubs. • Information will be readily available for hotel guests wanting to explore the city using public transportation. • In addition to public transportation we would like to provide a rental service that would rent bicycles and kayaks to hotel guests as well as locals. • Size of these spaces range from small information kiosks up to 3000 square feet for bicycle and kayak storage.
Edgewater Hotel/ Madison, WI • Edgewater Hotel Redevelopment • Madison, Wisconsin • Waterfront Hotel Resort • Great public plaza • Connection to city grid and community
Requirements and Constraints of Master Site Plan • Setbacks • No structure within 20 feet of public right-of-way • Height • No structure should exceed 240 feet • Floor area ratio • Minimum Distance between Buildings • Length and Width • Required Parking • Permitted Uses • Design Compatibility and Community Character scale
Central Beach Key Findings • Resort Hotel • Market opportunities appear strongest for this use because of high occupancy factors and significant growth in the domestic and international visitor market. • Retail & Restaurants • Despite estimates of 3.5-4 million annual visitors to the beach, there is surprisingly very little retail inventory. Thus, visitors represent a key market of overall demand for general retail and restaurants. • Encourage the creation of a dining district
Central Beach Circulation Circulation throughout the Central Beach incorporates multiple modes beyond private vehicles: pedestrian, cycling, public transit and water taxi. These forms of movement offer alternatives to private vehicles and could contribute to reducing traffic congestion. The ability to create interfaces between these modes of circulation contributes to the overall effectiveness of alternative modes of access and mobility.
Central Beach Requirements • North Beach Character Area intends to promote a diverse mixed use neighborhood integrating hotel, residential and supporting commercial space while preserving the existing architectural heritage and scale of the area. • Shoulder Height 35’ Max • Preferred Floorplates 65’ and above 16, 000 s. f.
How to Measure Value – Pre Occupancy • Allow for input in the community- get the approval of the neighbors • Look at Case Studies and previous examples • Provide a simulation to see if people would enjoy the prominent features of the building • Discuss with other professionals who have had experience in building in this specific area and program
How to measure Value- Post Occupancy • Profit- Are we able to make a profit off of the rentable spaces? and Are we able to rent all the spaces available? • Is there savings on the Energy bills due to the sustainable feature • Surveys • Is there an increase in traffic and frequency in stops of public transit
Heat Island Effect • Can Heat urban surfaces 50-90 degrees warmer than air
Heat Island’s Effects • Energy consumption is increased- 5-10% peak demand • Increase in emissions as a result of great consumption • Level of comfortability- Many times it is well beyond the reasonable temperatures of human comfort • Heats water temperatures nearby and affects quality
What can we do? • Green roofs- Allow for vegetation to be incorporated into the design • Reflective roofs- Reflect sunlight off of the building will cool the surface • Using “cool pavements”- relatively new and experimental technologies
Solar Hot Water System Used quite often in hotels due to the large amounts of hot water needed for laundry, showers, etc.. Can also be used for : Space Heating Domestic Hot Water Solar Central Cooling Solar Pool and Spa Heating
