The requirement
With the purpose of promoting and selling the '57 Ocean' apartments to prospective clients, HTS Industries was asked to design and manufacture a sales office structure to match the beautiful and exclusive surroundings of Miami Beach.
The office was to occupy the ground floor, while the first floor was transformed to resemble one of the luxury high-end residential apartments — giving buyers an immersive preview of the finished product.
The following requirements needed to be met:
- The structure needed the strength to withstand the sometimes-harsh Atlantic coastal climate
- Site space was restricted by the demolition of a former condo, and strict regulatory procedures had to be adhered to
- As the installation was for a three-year period, the design needed to meet a 140mph wind-load for a 25-year MRI — well above the average building code requirement for a temporary structure
- Florida Building Code required all cladding materials to hold product code approval
- Beachfront-specific constraints applied: windows and lighting had to meet light pollution requirements for nesting turtles
Correct planning was essential to ensure all issues were identified well ahead of time, ensuring a smooth execution.
The solution
- Custom-designed two-storey structure, 15.00 m wide x 18.00 m long
- 7.00 m side height, across both levels
- Tensioned vinyl roof Engineered and specified to meet the required 140mph wind-load for a 25-year MRI
- All cladding certified to the required Florida Building Code product approvals
- OSHA representatives in attendance throughout, ensuring all safety regulations were met during both the demolition and the new installation
