Conrad Miami
SB Architects acted as architect-of-record for
the public spaces of this urban luxury hotel, which
is an integral component of Espirito Santo Plaza, a
mixed-use highrise development in downtown
Miami. SB Architects worked directly with The
Gettys Group to create the new hotel within the
existing perameters of a 36-story glass tower
designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF).
The hotel spans the 10th through 25th floors, with
additional conference facilities on the third floor.
The nine floors below the hotel house 30,000 square
feet of class “A” office space, with a condo hotel
occupying the 11 floors above.
Brought on board with construction already well
underway, SB Architects and Gettys faced the
significant challenge of designing to stringent
4½-star standards without a specific brand initially
identified, all within the confines of an existing
building structure.

Anassa Hotel & Spa
This five-star resort sits on a rise overlooking
a pristine beach, with sweeping views of the
Mediterranean Sea. The main hotel - with its
magnificent rotunda - is surrounded by luxury vil-
las that step down to the sea, giving the impres-
sion of the collection of smaller structures 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 seamless integration of the architecture,
landscape architecture and interior design to
create a strongly unified experience for guests
of the resort.

This mixed-use highrise, located at Brickell and
Miami Avenues in downtown Miami, promises to
be a signature presence on the Miami skyline.
Two elegant residential towers will rise out of
a 10-story parking deck, which also will house
boutique street-front retail space on the first two
levels. Designed in a sleek, contemporary style,
the residential towers will rise to 37 and 45
stories. Loft-style residential units will also wrap
around the central parking core.
Atop the parking podium, a lushly-landscaped
pool deck and recreation area will provide private
outdoor space, as well as city and ocean views.
Developed to attract young professionals
working and living downtown, the residential
units will be a mixture of lofts and flats, ranging
from 545-square-foot studios to 1,745-square-foot,
three-bedroom units.

Dorado Beach, a Ritz Carlton Reserve
This unique resort will soon take shape on the site of
the former Dorado Beach Hotel, a playground for rich
and famous originally developed by Laurance Rockefeller.
Dorado Beach, a threeand-a-half-mile sweep of
coastline, is considered one of the most desirable and
naturally beautiful destinations in the Caribbean.
This new Ritz-Carlton Reserve is being designed to
provide six-star accommodations with an eye toward
sustainability and stewardship of the land. The design is
a contemporary interpretation of island architecture,
driven in great part by the use of organic and indigenous
materials. The primary arrival building is oriented on axis
with a natural rock outcropping extending into the sea.
Hotel guest rooms are in smaller, low-rise buildings sited
along the beach for maximum exposure and views.
A spectacular beachfront amenities building, and a spa
with an inwardly focused water environment and
individual treatment pavilions, complete the resort. A
large residential ownership component will also be part
of the overall resort development.
