Tuttle Street-Bar & Restaurant

Miami Design District, Miami, Fl

Continuing Miami’s tradition of Modern Architecture and historic Art-Deco
Period this 10,000 SF Restaurant was designed. It is sited on a corner lot and is part of the base of a proposed high-rise building in the Miami design district.

The corner of the corner is marked and articulated with a curved volume containing a ramp to the upper level and the roof terrace.
A two story glass facade at the entrance, welcomes and inviting visitors in. The two story structure is divided into two parts on the main boulevard with a transparent base and sliding doors allowing for a sidewalk café and a more solid volume on the upper level. An oceanic volume cantilevering from the upper level above the street contains the bar and becomes the signage and a billboard to the street.
The aim here is to blur the threshold between private and public, inside and outside, past and future.

Very artsy reestaurant :)

Which one of the highrises is that to go in the base of? One of the ones we know of already (COR, CUBE...etc) or a new one?

I could see George and Jane Jetson dining there.

I'm curious about the first picture...the one with "I Say The Word" ominously projected on a wall. Very Orwellian. Maybe they could add things like "You Are Being Watched" or "Obey The Leader" to the display...

"You are the victim of the rules we live by" is what it says behing the "I say the word"! I think you are on to something Spellbound

dave these are for dacra's new projects, or atleast the projects they've been saying they're going to release but never have.

anyways there was a neighborhood association meeting last night for the design district, and lets say that they neighbors aren't to happy they're trying to cut the heightof every project on the board. and i agree atleast until the new parking garage thats suppose to be built is completed. and also we're trying to get stricter codes on nightclubs, those things play music so loud until 3am every wed-sunday that your windows vibrate, getting tired of that damn club with that annoying trance music..

Good question DAVE :) ,But, I really don't know, lol. :cheers:
:)
But MAD Uptown Hatter :) knows, below me, LOL :cheers:

LOL...I forgot to mention that OTHER cryptic message on there.

Nothing says fine dining like the words "YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF THE RULES WE LIVE BY" being projected onto the entrance to a restaurant.

I want to learn more about the diabolocial minds behind this so-called "restaurant" and its disturbing messages.

Oppenheim Receives Approval from the City of Miami's Urban Design Review Board

NOVEMBER 14, 2006 -- Miami -- OPPENheim architecture + design has won approval for COR, a revolutionary Green building in Miami's Design District. The project is a collaboration between Chad Oppenheim, engineer Ysrael Seinuk, and energy consultants Buro Happold. COR is OPPENheim architecture + design’s first sustainable, mixed-used commercial/residential tower. The building stands 400 feet tall and represents a dynamic synergy between architecture, structural engineering, and ecology. The design for COR recently received unanimous approval from the Urban Design Review Board of the City of Miami and represents Oppenheim’s strong commitment to Green design. The building will break ground in eight months.

Oppenheim has set the bar for modern architecture in Miami with his designs for mid-rise and high-rise multi-housing projects and private residences, and he is now determined to lead with Green design. “COR is truly the building of the future,” the architect explains. “It is one of the first times that energy efficient elements play an integral part of the design of a building in Miami. The building produces its own energy using alternative technologies and employs a wide variety of cost-effective design strategies.”

COR extracts power from its environment by utilizing the latest developments in wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, and solar hot water generation. A hyper-efficient exoskeleton shell simultaneously provides building structure, thermal mass for insulation, shading for natural cooking, enclosure for terraces, armatures for turbines, and loggias for congregating on the ground. The incorporation of all of these elements into one building represents a major breakthrough in design and engineering.

Inside, COR features industrial-inspired spaces that are rooted in functionality and flexibility. Versatile, light-filled interiors and high-tech building infrastructure establish a unique balance between sleek professional spaces and comfortable residential spaces. Restaurants and retailers on the ground floor will add to COR’s urbanist personality; these businesses will allow the building to engage the street and create a dynamic venue for pedestrian interaction.

In total, COR is poised to become an exciting new addition to the Miami Design District. The building has been designed to address the needs of creative, design-oriented businesses and individuals that personally and professionally identity with the hip and sophisticated ambience of the neighborhood.

Sweet....

I like that if it becomes a trend it will be a great thing for miami and a great way to save money too...

And this kind of project would bring a lot of POSITIVE attention to Miami, both for being green and its incredibly adventurous design. It is a departure from the commonplace that is the kind that will set other designers free. I think it is beautiful, but maybe it doesn't even matter if you like it or not, for all the barriers it breaks. Chad gets kudos for not being afraid to challenge himself, I can't wait to see CUBE, it will help the DESIGN district live up to its name. I hope it breaks ground in 8 months

I'm happy for COR in the same way that I'm happy for the PT Cruiser. Seriously!...I support them both. Wouldn't want to invest in either one, or live/drive either one, but it's good to applaud innovative design and out of the box thinking.
I hope someone does a case study on COR to evaluate the dollars and cents (and sense) of it all. The knock on green buildings has always been the upfront expense of the materials used. Usually, green only exists in office buildings where owners/developers plan to build and hold the property in a long term portfolio where they can break even after a decade or so and reap so benefit for a few years going forward from there.
It will be fascinating to see what a residental condo board will do when they have to call out the nearest photovoltaic panel repairman and he tells them the price of the repair. Will the residents agree to the special assesment? What does that service call cost?

I think it is pre-mature to say you wouldn't want to live in COR, Well maybe not, some will actually hate it, BUT It could quite possibly have an amazing layout and spatial experience with each unit having a two story circle view on the world. It looks to me like it could be a historical reference to the sublime Louis Kahn building, at Exeter Academy, The Exeter Library. As for the PT Cruiser, IMO, the ugliest car ever to roll off an assembly line. Not referencing, a retro car, but copying it, badly and minimizing its details rendering it homogenized, and off the mark, like having sex with a computer generated Bette Davis. Just my opinion.

I did the math and assuming that COR's roof area is 1000m^2 and is completely covered with monocrystalline photovoltaic solar panels, the whole array could only provide power for 37 residents consuming an average of 10,000 kilowatt-hours per year. Also, it is likely that much of the roof will need to be exposed so that the air-conditioning units can function properly making the area of the solar array much smaller than that of the roof. And to answer the question about solar panel repair, it is pretty much negligible in the long run. As for the wind-turbines, I think I would go crazy if I spent several hundred thousand dollars on a condo only to find that the building shakes violently every time the wind picks up (which it often does in Miami). Also, the noise from the wind-turbines would be pretty considerable for those who will be living on one of the upper floors. Compared to solar panels, wind turbines require much more maintenance because they have moving parts but I have no clue as to how much it would cost. I can, however, guess that it would be laughable when compared the multi-million dollar price tag of the wind-turbines and solar panels when first purchased.

My brother lives in a small beach front town in MA, Hull, and the got one wind turbine that produces 75% of the towns electrical needs. So they got another half again as big, and they are now selling power to the fithy rich town to the south, Cohasett. If turbines are built into the building, with no leg, they could be completely stationary, and silent, its just a matter of how they are engineered, when the get to be enrmous they make some whooshing sound, but not smaller ones like these. AND they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It is like ultra modern meditative kinetic sculpture., I can't understand why There is not a wind farm in the bay or offshore, particularly being that Miami will be the first to go due to global warming. It think the solar panels will be in more places than the roof. From some of the renderings it looks as if they may circle some of the windows. And while it may be expensive, Maybe of the 20,000 2 milion dollar plus units being built in this boom, maybe there are 120 people who have enough gratitude for all the money they have that they want to do the right thing for the planet they live on. If they can afford 2, or 3, or 5 million dollar vacation homes, come on, pony up.
