Photo: Herzog & De Meuron’s Latest Expansion At 1111 Lincoln Road
At 1664-1666 Lenox Avenue in South Beach, (next to 1111 Lincoln Road,) construction is wrapping on a retail and residential project.
The project includes 6,353 square feet of ground floor retail/restaurant, along with two residential units on the second floor.
They appear to open and close. They almost look like hurricane doors. If they are, pretty ingenious concept.
I saw them in down position and they covered the storefronts perfectly.
Will these white panels be solar panels?
I doubt these are solar. This is the east side of the building.
Not if FPL has anything to do with it.
Look like a clever but very expensive way to flood proof the building with out having to raise the finished floor to the new flood elevation which would have required stairs and ramps for access
Really ugly
H&dM are untouchable. so innovative and groundbreaking. They have no ‘signature style’ beyond always coming up with something unprecedented and totally genius. It’s not about ‘pretty’, although there are many who would say the Beijing olympic stadium and even 1111 Lincoln Rd are beautiful.
