HUMILITY is the refreshing emotion of imperfection. Obstacles in life are similar to obstacles in design, they cause you to struggle and to grow. You grow through adversity.

Set in Miami in close proximity to all that Miami has to offer, the former Miami Herald building has gone through an ADAPTIVE revamp. Hotel Cean is a DESTINATION hotel that welcomes travelers of all kinds. Whether you are a local Floridian taking a weekend get-away or a tourist from across the world, Hotel Cean is a fully SUSTAINABLE hotel that caters to your every need. We want to introduce our guests to a GREEN life style in the hopes that through EDUCATION and experience, users will take this sustainable knowledge and use it to their advantage all while teaching others about the ways of sustainability.

ENVIRONMENT are the most important aspect. Hotel Cean was inspired by the ocean and all that it has to offer.

The possibilities of Hotel Cean are EVER CHANGING. Space can be rented out to suit the needs depending on the time of year or what is in DEMAND. The remaining first floor space could potentially be utilized by a mall while other spaces could be used to hold conference meetings or banquets large and small. The VERSATILITY of this building can be developed in a multitude of ways and can ADAPT over the use of it’s life.

ARCHITECTURE and ART have served as the foundation for my design. Bringing together FORM and CREATIVITY is the combination of SOLID structures alongside ABSTRACT ideas.

The DOOR, WINDOW, STAIR encompasses space as experienced in different ways. DOOR is seen as a threshold from one void to another. WINDOW is expressed as a moment in time that can be experienced and STAIR is the transportation from one moment to another.
