THE WINDSOR

This project was a commercial project for a 32 unit, 20 story beachfront condominium building. The Board members of the condo were looking to update and upgrade the exterior and several interior spaces as well as resolve maintenance issues required of a 20 year old building. Due to the scope of work and the location of the project, it would take place over several summer seasons in multi phases.

HHA coordinated with Coastal, Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing engineers as well as fire code coordination and Biologist consultants for dune and turtle protection. HHA also worked closely with the interior designer regarding finishes.

This project required permits for DEP (for being in front of the coastal construction line), SDPI and SDPA (for added space to site and building), Dune Restoration (for the project located on the beach to remove exotic vegetation and turtle protection), Building Permits (for construction), Pool Permits (for added new spa),

Fire Alarm (for modifications and upgrades as required by code), Fire Sprinkler (for relocating, moving or adding sprinklers), Dune Walkover (for walkway maintenance and new cladding).

CONTESSA

We feel that Budgets are a designer’s friend and an essential tool. There is no other way to assist and advise a client on how to spend their money wisely without a frank and honest approach to the budget. Our charge will be to prioritize the available funds based on the core goals as explained from our initial walk-thru and any subsequent reviews with various committees, board members, and professional staff that will be assigned key decision and approval roles for the Colony Bay Club. We will work with the selected General Contractor to review all construction methods, details, and material selections to insure they provide both value for money, competent and state of the art technical and code compliancy, as well as adherence to scheduling requirements that may influence such selections and details.

Through past experience we understand that accurate budgetary guidance needs to be provided by our clients, so that genuine prioritization can take place at the early planning process. We have found that when “funds appear midstream within a project”, this is not necessarily a good thing, as they may only highlight, where alternate conceptual designs may have been abandoned, led to missed opportunities.
