Buildings from 1920 with cultural background and history over its walls and foundations have been restored and preserved since 1979. A huge challenge for engineers and structural designers and constructors. It is completely different from the process of designing a new building versus the design of historic preservation.
The Ansonia Hotel has been remodeled twice but always preserving the historic conditions of the original design. This building, originally just had two levels and 21’6” of height, and the 2014 restoration project included the addition of the third level and a recreational rooftop. At the exterior of the building, the project proposed removing some of the none original parts of the façade such as the rails, landscaping pavers, glass blocks, and stonework.
Brickell City Centre is a VIP experience for users and a big responsibility for engineers and contractors who built this place. At YHCE, we were part of the structural design of some of the retail stores and restaurants located at Brickell City Centre, keep reading to discover the 20 retail stores and restaurants designed by YHCE.
City Zero “The most anticipated dance studio in Miami” from creator and co-founder of Zumba Fitness Beto Perez, This extraordinary building is what structural engineers defined as an irregular building, meaning that the geometry of this building is not uniform throughout the structure.
E-Commerce Amazon leased a 5,000 sqft space at one of the YHCEprojects to open its first Florida 4-Star store on MiamiBeach, as part of their plan to open more 4-star rated product stores.
At YHCE, one of our expertise is to adapt an old building structure for new uses while remaining part of the structural system, in construction this process is called adaptive reuse and is commonly used to preserve historic features of the building, to prolong the building’s life, and sometimes to take advantage of the site location.
Behind the amazing architectural design of this project, we are doing the structural design to guarantee the continuity of its elements from one floor to another, as well as the resistance of the complex against threats like storms and hurricanes.
We are happy to announce that Moxy by Marriott Hotel is almost done! On this project we made a combination between #historicpreservation and #midrise #structuraldesign, in collaboration with the architects @KobiKarp
