Tilt-Up construction
This project is under the Florida Green
Building Coalition Certification (FGBC),
which encourage building owners to
design by using sustainable strategies
in the process of construction.
Tilt-Up is a construction method that
was used to accomplish this building.
The fast, low cost and energy efficient
construction process aids to reduce
energy consumption by using less
energy in the production of concrete
and also concrete is an excellent
insulator.

The grid organization of the space is

SPATIAL QUALITY
MEASUREMENTS
Private spaces may be close to walls
to prevent noise travel. Semi-private
areas can be used to connect people
on the same floor or the next level.
Public spaces can take advantage of
sunlight and access to lateral egress.
First Floor
Second Floor
Third Floor
Thresholds are used to provide a
transition between public and private
spaces; it can be defined by a wall or a
series of columns.
A series of rectangles define
the space to influence the
spatial organization of the area.
Threshold 11,531 sq ft per level
DOMINANT ISSUES
LOCATION STRUCTURE
Even though most popular areas of the
city are close to the building, there is
a problem with TRAFFIC. Dolphin
Express way and 836 has a minimum
of hour delays during rush hours.
NOISE is another concern in the
area. Designer needs to pay attention
where to locate focus area of working
and how existing materials like
concrete and glass allow sound
penetration.
Exposed structural elements on ceiling
will no be an option for Salvatore
Ferragamo’s Headquarters. Ceiling
design should enclose structural
elements and accentuate overall space
The building was design under sustainable principals; therefore interior designer
should follow the qualities of the elements that empower the entire building to
reduce energy consumption and improve employees well being.

COLUMNS can remain exposed and
can be a focal point of connection
between levels and among employees.
CONCRETE should be enhance by
other design elements or be changed
for the best option that improve
elegance to the space.
CURTAIN WALL view should be
enhance and represent a true
connection for employees to the outside
environment.
