Construction
The Bay Harbor One delivery method for this building was Design-Bid-Build. The building was designed by FRANKEL BENAYOUN ARCHITECTS INC, with a budget of $13,998,528.
One of the main Challenges of this site was the permits to be able to construct in Bay Harbor Island. Until not long ago, the population of the Island was against any type of high-rise building and considerate Bay Harbor’s architecture as a historic footprint. Its only through recent debates that the community has gave permission for different high end residential buildings.
Mechanical
Building is served by four A/C split systems for a total system capacity of11.5 tons. There are 3system units that supply the 1st floor corridor and Fitness RM with 1600 CFM, and the Units with 1200 and 1400 CFM. The Mini-split unit serve the Refuse area with 400CFM. The air handling unit cooling was designed based on a dry bulb temperature of 80F and a wet temperature of 67F.
Structural
The foundation system for Bay Harbor One consist of Auger cast Tensions piles with a pile cap connected by grade beams. The structure will be supported by 16” diameter auger cast piles, with a minimum depth specified of 40’ to 45’. The garage level has a slab that varies from 9’’ to 11” cast on top of well compacted fill. The structural system is reinforced concrete framing and its diaphragm it’s made of a post tension reinforced concrete slabs. Throughout the floors, it can be seen that the post tension concrete slabs are 8” thick. The spans between the columns varies greatly depending on the location in the building; it can range from 10’ to 30’. The floor to floor height is 8’ 9” and the walls are 8” CMU impact walls.
Electrical
Bay Harbor One consist on a transformer that run at 120/208V 3-Phase and an emergency generator as the backup which also runs at 120/208V 3-Phase. The Transformer serves the Meter center which is in charge of supplying power to the different residences; the Distribution Panel which focus on serving non-residence loads; the Fire Pump which is served with a normal wire and the Emergency Power system. This last one is also connected to an ATS which serves as switch channel: when the transformer fails, the ATS is activated and switches to the backup emergency generator to ensure the power supply to the different Emergency power systems.

It has some surface mounted corridor ceiling light in special places like the Great Room, the Den and Bedrooms. Finally, on the terrace, it has warm incandescent sconces.

On the Roof Top, there are mainly step lights distributed throughout the space. It has incandescent sconces like the ones scene in the residences, LED step lights and LED surface mounted lights. The Private Terraces, that are also located on the roof, have a step light as the main sources of light, besides the reflected light from the planter’s luminaires.
