Dorado Beach -

A Ritz-Carlton Reserve

D O R A D O ,

P U E R T O R I C O

This one-of-a-kind resort - the second Ritz-

Carlton Reserve and the first in the

Western Hemisphere - opened in December

2012 on the site of the famed Dorado

Beach Hotel originally developed by

Laurance Rockefeller. The unique

architecture takes its cue from two

important influences: the site itself and the

rich, multi-layered history of both Puerto

Rico and Dorado Beach. The architecture is

contemporary, and draws heavily from the

mid-century modern vernacular in a direct

reference to the period that gave rise to

the original Dorado Beach Resort. Yet the

environment and structures are warm and

inviting, infused with layers of references to

the surrounding natural world and to the

many cultures – both ancient and modern –

that have influenced life on this unique

island. The Reserve has been designed for

LEED Certification.

This 6,600 square-foot home sits between

the beach and the East Beach Golf Course

in the exclusive community of Dorado

Beach, adjacent to the acclaimed Ritz-

Carlton Reserve. The home was carefully

designed to provide views of water, golf and

lush landscape in every direction. The

beachfront facade features disappearing

glass walls designed to make the interior

spaces live as covered exterior areas. Each

of the five bedrooms is a suite, and the sec-

ond level suites open to expansive terraces

overlooking the sea. The kitchen also opens

to a large covered dining terrace right on

the beach.

N A P A V A L L E Y

C A L I F O R N I A

This unique resort and private residence club

is nestled on 23 wooded acres in the heart of

the California wine country. The remainder of

the 157-acre site has been left undeveloped.

The property contains both resort and fraction-

al ownership units, each designed to blur the

line between indoor and outdoor spaces, creat-

ing a “bungalow-in-the woods” experience in

which the spectacular natural surroundings are

the most important amenity. Living and bed-

room spaces surround private cabanas (out-

door living rooms) complete with outdoor fire-

places, lighting and comfortable furnishings.

The resort units range from 600 to 2,400

square feet of indoor/outdoor space, and the

fractional ownership units average 3,200

square feet of space. The architecture is a mix

of indigenous natural materials with steel and

glass elements, emphasizing the indoor/outdoor

lifestyle and casual elegance that typify the

Napa Valley.

The residential resort community of Bahia

vegitation, the residences are surrounded by

views in every direction, overlooking the

ocean, golf course, lakes and mountains. A

spectacular new golf clubhouse and inviting

village center provide a social hub for the

community. The architecture brings together

Asian, Mediterranean and tropical influences

to create a simple yet elegant style unique to

this resort. The lightly-colored buildings

employ a subtle, refined elegance by using

natural materials indigenous to the island.

Open-air spaces with exposed trusses, deep

overhangs and clerestories help create spac-

es that embrace the temperate climate, while

the lush vegetation envelopes the buildings

in nature. The project has received certifica-

tion as an Audubon International Gold

Sanctuary development.

This 5-star luxury resort hotel lies at the

heart of the exclusive Bahia Beach Resort

& Golf Club. This stunningly beautiful desti-

nation has been granted Gold Signature

Certification by Audubon International, in

recognition of its sustainable approach to

design and development. SB Architects has

been responsible for the design of the

resort residential community, golf clubhouse

and conference center, as well as the St.

Regis branded residences. Acting as con-

sulting design architect for the St. Regis

Bahia Beach, SB Architects shepherded the

project through the final, formative stages

of design and construction. The relaxed,

plantation style architecture blends a

refined sense of elegance with a limited

palette of forms and materials that ground

it in the surrounding culture and topogra-

phy, and provide a strong visual link to the

rest of the resort.

This series of luxury homes with direct

north shore of Puerto Rico. They are also

directly adjacent to the famed Bahia Beach

Golf Resort, sited along the fairways of

holes 16 and 17. With nearly 14,000 square

feet of conditioned space, these homes are

designed to accommodate a large extended

family or multiple families with multiple

bedroom suites. The architectural style is a

contemporary interpretation of mid-century

design, executed with materials and

construction techniques appropriate to the

Caribbean region.

The goal for this project was to renovate

Mirage to become The Ritz-Carlton Rancho

Mirage. Set on a spectacular hillside site,

with views of the desert valley below and

mountains in all directions, this venerable

five-star resort has been reborn. The task

included a complete renovation of the

hotel, as well as the addition of a spectacu-

lar indoor/outdoor restaurant on the cliff’s

edge, as well as a new full-service spa and

spa suites. The design team has updated

the architecture and interiors to better

reflect the desert setting. With an empha-

sis on natural colors and tactile materials,

and a renewed focus on indoor/outdoor liv-

ing, the new design provides a serene set-

ting for this desert retreat.

Set on 135 acres in the Temecula foot-

hills, Twelve Oaks Winery & Resort is at

the forefront of the trend toward the

development of experiential, wine and

food-centered destinations. The resort –

which will accommodate close to 200

guests - will be set directly within the

vineyards, surrounded by numerous

event spaces, a farm-to-table restaurant,

a stand-alone brewery and a winery

capable of producing 60,000 cases per

year. The architecture embodies a truly

“American” design aesthetic - a sophisti-

cated interpretation of agrarian struc-

tures and classic California Craftsman

style. Dry-stacked stone walls and a

color palette that reflects the surround-

ing desert environment firmly root the

resort in the fertile, yet rocky terrain of

the Temecula Wine Country.

One of the leading examples of the urban

mixed-use project type in the country, this

project replaces an aging single-story

mall, (with 100% surface parking), with a

densely designed, multi-story mixed-use

community that incorporates all of its

parking needs within the new structures.

On the podiums of Buildings 7 and 8, inte-

rior streets provide access to flats and

direct-entry townhouses (each with its own

garage), creating real neighborhoods

above street level. The main street is high-

lighted by a median park and lined with

ground-floor retail, restaurants and public

gathering places, which invoke the impres-

sion of an urban district that has devel-

oped over time. San Jose Mercury News

architecture critic Alan Hess commented,

“Santana Row shows the extraordinary

value added by good design...”

rises from the mid-rise structure below,

overlooking the residential amenities - pool,

SB Architects won an international design

competition for the master-planning and design

of Phase One of this expansive master-planned

development, which includes 7 mixed-use struc-

tures overlooking the Joeseph Khoury Marina,

the largest marina in Beirut. Set upon a grand

pedestrian promenade raised seven meters

above sea level, the four central structures will

house high-end residences above a carefully or-

chestrated progression of retail and restaurants,

creating a sophisticated and exciting urban

destination. When complete, Waterfront City

will cover an area of over 193,600 square meters,

with more than 5,000 new residences, as well

as commercial and retail districts, a destination

shopping mall and two hotels. Set against the

rich cultural backdrop of Beirut, Waterfront

City presents the opportunity to fuse location,

climate, views and planning concept into new

urbanism for this historic city.

SB Architects is working with Dacra on

of the expansion project, introduces a

a whole new approach to retail design

and architecture. The design team is

creating the architectural skeleton for

the block – addressing building structure,

overall identity and the movement of

people through the space - and giving

the individual retailers the opportunity

to create the entire 45-foot facade for

their structures. A pedestrian ‘paseo’ will

bisect the multi-block expansion, with

grand plazas at either end. Green roofs

top nearly every structure, and the entire

project being designed with the goal of

Included on Conde Nast’s 2008 “Hot List” of

the world’s hottest new hotels, this project

transforms an historic but tired hotel in the

heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter into an

ultra-chic boutique hotel that has instantly

become a major destination. The design team

took the six-story structure down to the shell to

create a completely new experience on the

interior, while the exterior received a respectful

renovation that enhanced the historic façade

with minimalistic details. This destination hotel

is defined by its dramatic public spaces, from

the basement nightclub and lounge, to the

rooftop bar, outdoor restaurant and pool with

panoramic views of downtown San Diego. At

every turn, the architecture and interiors work

together to create the unexpected – sleek,

modern architectural forms combined with

dramatic, over-the-top interiors, all within a

restrained historic envelope.

This mixed-use highrise, located at the

prominent intersection of Brickell and

Miami Avenues in downtown Miami, is a

signature presence on the Miami skyline.

Two elegant residential towers rise out of

a 10-story parking deck, which also houses

boutique street-front retail space on the

first two levels. Designed in a sleek, con-

temporary style, the residential towers rise

to 37 and 45 stories. Loft-style residential

units also wrap around the central parking

core. Atop the parking podium, a lushly-

landscaped pool deck and recreation area

provide private outdoor space, as well as

city and ocean views.

This mixed-use project is part of the Mission

Bay development, an extensive redevelop-

ment effort in downtown San Francisco.

Located just a few blocks from the city’s

downtown ballpark, this project is part of a

movement to create a new residential

neighborhood and retail destination. The

building combines a modern, urban archi-

tectural vernacular with a community-ori-

ented approach to massing and street

presence. Two-story retail spaces (limited in

size to encourage local business) front

Fourth Street, with two-story townhouses

opening onto the smaller “neighborhood”

streets on both sides of the project.

Residential parking is tucked behind the

retail and townhouses, topped by an expan-

sive third-story podium with a clubhouse

and outdoor gathering spaces.

This project in San Francisco’s Mission

District combines flats and two-level town-

houses for a total of 76 for-sale residential

units. An existing three-story brick ware-

house has been transformed into 23 resi-

dential units. A new courtyard building

adjacent to the warehouse houses 53 units.

Five levels of residences overlook a court-

yard situated one level below grade, with

four levels overlooking street views.

Parking is housed in two levels below the

courtyard. The design of the new construc-

tion is distinctly urban in character. An

eclectic vocabulary of architectural refer-

ences reflects the neighborhood, which

includes residential, industrial, commercial

and retail enterprises. A mixture of materi-

als, combined with set-back elements, bays

and covered balconies, creates a lively

facade.

This signature mixed-use project is designed to

make a dramatic architectural statement on the

skyline of St. Petersburg, Florida. A 41-story

residential tower with 253 living units will rise out

of a parking structure that will provide a podium

level pool and amenities deck. Bookending the

parking structure will be a 14-story, 174-key hotel.

Street-front retail spaces totalling 15,000 square

feet will make this a true mixed-use development

in this urban setting.

Located in a charming neighborhood of

buildings designed in the Mediterranean style

of iconic Florida architect Addison Mizner, this

new mixed-use development will add a lifestyle

destination to this desirable area. The complex,

part of the Via Mizner development, will have a

retail and dining component on the street and

podium levels, capped by two towers, one

housing a Mardarin Oriental hotel and the

other branded luxury residential. To maintain a

connection to the existing neighborhood with

its historic low-rise structures, the lifestyle

center and hidden structured parking will

create a three-story facade along the street,

with the towers set back to have less impact on

the streetscape. This will also allow the

branded towers to have a separate, more

contemporary aethetic. Upon completion the

project will provide the only five-star hotel in

Boca Raton, and one of a select few Mandarin

Oriental residential projects in the world.

with a contemporary aesthetic utilizing

curved geometric shapes clad in steel and

glass, the mixed-use development features

ground floor retail/dining and a grand

a private pool deck and amenities for the

residential units on levels 17-41.

This project is the centerpiece of an

expansive new mixed-use development on

the Huizhou peninsula, overlooking the

South China Sea. Named for the pair of

moon-shaped bays that flank the peninsu-

la, Double Moon Bay is a highly desirable

location known for its scenic hiking trails.

This beachfront town center has been

conceived to provide retail, dining and

entertainment - as well as a clubhouse

and sports center - for the large number

of occupants of and visitors to this new

community. Above the street-front, a bou-

tique hotel provides accommodations for

expansive resort will include two hotels, a

town center, villas and a winery overlooking

acres of vineyards and farmland. The lake

is the touchstone of every element of the

resort. The resort’s crown jewel is the ele-

accessed solely by bridges, this classically-

inspired structure provides a luxury resort

experience surrounded by views of water,

botanical gardens and viticulture. A spa

and conference center flank the hotel. At

the opposite end of the lake, the winery is

reminiscent of an elegant European cha-

teau. The town center, which ranges from

one to three stories, is a mixed-use village

with lively, street-front retail topped with

Conceived as the first winery development in

the Liaoning Province, this collaboration

between SB Architects and EDSA will include a

full-production winery, a boutique hotel, a com-

mercial village, and residential villas. The con-

temporary design of the welcome center sets a

sophisticated tone for the winery and resort.

Every element of the resort will have its own

scale and character, but each will reference the

agrarian history of the area in a contemporary

manner. The hotel, for example, will capture the

style of California’s Napa Valley with earthy

materials and an abundance of indoor-outdoor

spaces. The buildings are arranged to allow

transparency to the surrounding vineyards and

to create a sense of discovery. Commercial

functions are clustered in a linear valley sur-

rounded by vineclad hillsides. Residential villas

are carefully set into on the surrounding slopes,

overlooking the vineyards.

This five-star resort sits on a rise overlooking

magnificent rotunda - is surrounded by luxu-

ry villas that step down to the sea, giving the

impression of the collection of smaller struc-

tures that form a Mediterranean hill town.

Authenticity and sophisticated luxury were

the project’s primary design goals. The

architecture is an elegant interpretation of

the traditional Greek Cypriot vernacular,

with whitewashed walls, low-pitched tile

roofs, simple massing and clean details.

Particular attention was paid to the seam-

less integration of the architecture, land-

scape architecture and interior design to

create a strongly unified experience for

guests of the resort.

and one containing 61 condominiums. Six

additional resort bungalows will be built

along the beach. The hotel, envisioned as a

highly-social, active resort environment, will

have five restaurants, including a rooftop

restaurant with sweeping views of the

Caribbean. The design, which blends a con-

temporary aesthetic with a laid-back island

approach, will usher in a new erea of con-

temporary luxury to Grand Cayman.

Nestled in the hills of Mill Valley just across the

Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, this cus-

tom home is the first LEED-H Platinum Certified

home in Marin County, and one of the first in the

state of California. This home is a statement of

what is possible in “high design and high sustain-

ability.” This project represents the collaborative

effort of a visionary group of partner companies,

who have come together to bring this first-of-its-

kind project to Marin County. The architectural

vocabulary is a careful balance between modern

sensibilities and the rustic, natural surroundings –

a modern cabin. Set deep into the hillside, nearly

20% of the home’s total square footage sits

below grade, taking maximum advantage of the

hill’s natural insulation. A central circulation core

connects four levels of living spaces, each of

which embraces the outdoors through expansive

windows and decks. Every window in the home

opens to a view of the trees, and many to a view

of the San Francisco skyline.

SB Architects is currently the project

architect for an extensive renovation of

the iconic Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn &

Spa. The renovation included the lobby,

lobby bar, Michelin Star-rated “Sante” res-

taurant, meeting facilities and Heritage

Suites. On the exterior, there will be

sweeping changes to the arrival, land-

scape, signage and pedestrian circulation.

The firm is also working with the Sonoma

County Landmarks Commission on a pro-

posed exterior addition that will enhance

the arrival experience and the lobby. The

renovation is designed to better align the

historic resort with the Fairmont brand’s

position and standards. The overall

design will respect the hotel’s character

while appealing to a younger demograph-

ic consistent with other luxury properties

in the area.

membership club, with guest accommoda-

tions and an elaborate health spa, has

been adapted from the original

Mediterranean-style Vanderbilt estate,

which served as the design inspiration for

the entire project. The lushly landscaped

island has ample open space, and a cham-

pionship, P. B. Dye-designed 9-hole golf

course with clubhouse. Other amenities

include fitness trails, beaches, a 16-court

tennis club, a commercial center and a

marina. SB Architects has been the exclu-

sive architect and planner for Fisher

Island throughout nearly three decades of

continuous development.
