5. What the Help is Wearing
If there is one person that knows what it takes to design the most stylish and valuable spaces in Miami, it’s Kaya Wittenburg. So how is he helping to design some of the most amazing real estate art, and successful luxury buildings ever created?
In his own words…
“When I take on an urban development or a destination resort development, I often play the role of a surrogate COO. Helping with anything and everything that a developer might need.
Some of those things are:
· Bringing a hotel flag to the property
· Assisting with the design of all common areas
· The creation of fashionable uniforms for the staff
· Using my background as a Hollywood television producer to create dynamic video
· Setting prices
· Drafting business plans for a condo hotel management program
· Feasibility studies
· Introductions to key equity partners for JVs
1) Developers often overlook the need for a key ‘sizzle’ signature item. Maybe it’s a pool with a glass bottom or side that can be viewed from a lounging area or a hydro therapy ecosystem by the pool. Cookie cutter typical plans don’t cut the mustard when I’m working on a project. I do everything that I possibly can to create a distinct identity through the implementation of these key signature pieces.
2) It sounds obvious, but architects pay more attention to the facades of their buildings over the floor plans. After all, they will most often be judged by that exterior image of the building that the public will see, and the fact that that exterior image will appear in their PR and marketing materials as the symbol of their work. However, it’s my job to stand guard on the interiors. You actually live within the floor plans, you don’t live on a facade.
3) Developers often overlook the height of the lobbies. They want to sell every single floor as residential or commercial units and max out their buildable square footage. But lobby height is very important. A triple high lobby gives off a spacious feeling that projects grandeur and decadence. It’s worth sacrificing a few extra condo units to provide this majestic feeling when residents enter their lobby.
4) They often overlook a gym. Especially in Miami, the land of the endless summer, where skin is on show year round, skimping on space and equipment for a gym is a terrible idea.”
