The project is an interior build-out at the
Gansevoort Hotel South in Miami Beach. The design seeks to emphasize the
proportions of the shell by juxtaposing two distinct volumes. The space
is divided longitudinally into a compressed mezzanine which contains
the service areas, and a double-height volume which is defined by a wall
of metal coffee cans. This strategy generates additional leasable
square footage, while engaging the party wall condition through the use
of side-diffused, artificial illumination.
