Transcript Bringing the City to the People

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
Fort Lauderdale
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 natureconstantly 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.

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
Indoor Street
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.

Three basic components
to building
Multiple Levels of Public Interaction
Program we are Adding
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.

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
Required Parking
• Length and Width
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
Sustainability
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
