Widely recognized for our highly individual approach to design, our firm has
received over 200 awards for design excellence.
With a staff of highly trained, immensely talented and deeply passionate
individuals in our San Francisco and Miami offices, we successfully merge fifty
years of experience with the energy, drive and dedication of a second gen-
eration of partners. With the technical capabilities and the understanding to
take even the largest projects from initial concept through construction any-
where in the world, we remain a hands-on, design-oriented practice at heart.
Integrity in design, connection to the client and balance in our corporate
culture are integral to our identity.
Our vast experience with a wide array of project types, geographic locations,
construction techniques and architectural styles gives us a high level of
expertise, while our collaborative process and individual approach to each
project allow us to be flexible and responsive. Site-sensitive design has been
a hallmark of our practice.
We strive to honor the site with design solutions inspired by the regional ver-
nacular, local materials and the sense of place inherent within each site, and
we are dedicated to advocating sustainable design and construction meth-
ods on all of our projects. All four of our principals, and over 30% of our staff,
are LEED Accredited Professionals, with a firm-wide goal of 100% accreditation.
SB ARCHITECTS has established a world-wide
reputation for excellence in the planning and
design of large-scale hotel, resort, multi-family
residential, and mixed-use projects.

This mixed-use highrise, located at the
prominent intersection of Brickell and
Miami Avenues in downtown Miami, is a
signature presence on the Miami skyline.
Two elegant residential towers rise out of
a 10-story parking deck, which also houses
boutique street-front retail space on the
first two levels. Designed in a sleek, con-
temporary style, the residential towers rise
to 37 and 45 stories. Loft-style residential
units also wrap around the central parking
core. Atop the parking podium, a lushly-
landscaped pool deck and recreation area
provide private outdoor space, as well as
city and ocean views.

This mixed-use urban infill project is an integral
part of a significant redevelopment effort in
downtown St.Petersburg. The design concept
combines a 30-story residential tower with a
three-story component of residential-over-retail
structures wrapped around parking. Although
structurally independent, the tower and lower-
rise structures are designed to work together
as a single residential complex, integrated
through an amenity suite and pool deck on the
third level podium. The tower residences offer
views of Tampa Bay while the low-rise struc-
tures are designed as a series of buildings,
breaking up the massing and creating interest
at street level.
Palm Court
Miami Design District
M I A M I , F L O R I D A
SB Architects is working with Dacra on
an ambitious expansion of the Miami De-
sign District. Palm Court, the fi rst phase
of the expansion project, introduces a
a whole new approach to retail design
and architecture. The design team is
creating the architectural skeleton for
the block – addressing building structure,
overall identity and the movement of
people through the space - and giving
the individual retailers the opportunity
to create the entire 45-foot facade for
their structures. A pedestrian ‘paseo’ will
bisect the multi-block expansion, with
grand plazas at either end. Green roofs
top nearly every structure, and the entire
project being designed with the goal of
LEED Gold Certifi cation.

Santana Row
S A N J O S E , C A L I F O R N I A
One of the leading examples of the urban
mixed-use project type in the country, this
project replaces an aging single-story
mall, (with 100% surface parking), with a
densely designed, multi-story mixed-use
community that incorporates all of its
parking needs within the new structures.
On the podiums of Buildings 7 and 8, inte-
rior streets provide access to flats and
direct-entry townhouses (each with its own
garage), creating real neighborhoods
above street level. The main street is high-
lighted by a median park and lined with
ground-floor retail, restaurants and public
gathering places, which invoke the impres-
sion of an urban district that has devel-
oped over time. San Jose Mercury News
architecture critic Alan Hess commented,
“Santana Row shows the extraordinary
value added by good design...”

SB Architects is designing multiple compo-
nents of Mission Hills Haikou, an expansive
golf-oriented resort and resort community
that eventually will total 10 golf courses.
Several phases of development have includ-
ed townhomes, villas and condominiums, in
various midrise and highrise configurations.
The design for the resort community of
Lavastone is an interpretation of tropical
island architecture, utilizing natural materi-
als and lush landscaping. Clustered struc-
tures and stepped massing help invoke a
village environment. The architectural
vocabulary evolves from traditional to more
contemporary in progressive phases, giving
depth and a sense of history to the overall
design of the community, and a sense of
individuality to the each phase.

Envisioned as a members-only social club,
GH Atlanta will be the inaugural property
for the Guesthouse brand. Designed as
an oasis within an urban setting, GH
Atlanta will combine amenities, events
and a sense of community for its mem-
bers. At the heart of the concept lies a
luxurious outdoor entertainment area,
with multiple options for relaxing and
socializing, private cabanas, beach vol-
leyball, multiple bars, and event venues.
Indoors, the living room and dining room
provide social hubs, while a state-of-the-
art fitness facility ensures that it enhanc-
es not only members’ social and profes-
sional lives, but their physical lives as
well. The design vision is modern but
inviting, sophisticated but not stuffy.

SB Architects was chosen to redevelop a
large site across the street from the
University of Southern California campus
into an urban mixed-use village. With its
primary entrance on one of the campus’s
most prominent intersections, the design
philosphy for this dense, infill project is to
create a true residential neighborhood for
students, faculty and the surrounding com-
munity. The goal is to use the architecture
and public spaces to form a unique village
character, while acknowledging the proj-
ect’s very urban surroundings. The master
plan follows the specific guidelines of the
University’s overall master plan. The plan is
organized along the village’s pedestrian-ori-
ented main street, which cuts through the
center of the project and provides a shared
public space not only at street level, but
when overlooked from the housing above.

This project is an integral part of the
“Heart of the City” re-development effort
to revitalize the city of San Jose. This high-
density, urban mixed-use project provides
197 for-sale condominiums and 32,000
square feet of retail, restaurants and enter-
tainment venues, adding much-needed
housing and a vibrant public gathering
place to the community. The design juxta-
poses a signature 22-story high-rise tower
with a mixed-use component. The tower
rises from the mid-rise structure below,
overlooking the residential amenities - pool,
recreation center and fitness facility locat-
ed on the podium. A new pedestrian-ori-
ented street lined with shops, trees and
outdoor seating bisects the city block. This
transit-oriented development is directly
adjacent to the Santa Clara Valley light rail
system.

SB Architects won an international design
competition for the master-planning and design
of Phase One of this expansive master-planned
development, which includes 7 mixed-use struc-
tures overlooking the Joeseph Khoury Marina,
the largest marina in Beirut. Set upon a grand
pedestrian promenade raised seven meters
above sea level, the four central structures will
house high-end residences above a carefully or-
chestrated progression of retail and restaurants,
creating a sophisticated and exciting urban
destination. When complete, Waterfront City
will cover an area of over 193,600 square meters,
with more than 5,000 new residences, as well
as commercial and retail districts, a destination
shopping mall and two hotels. Set against the
rich cultural backdrop of Beirut, Waterfront
City presents the opportunity to fuse location,
climate, views and planning concept into new
urbanism for this historic city.

This mixed-use project is part of the Mission
Bay development, an extensive redevelop-
ment effort in downtown San Francisco.
Located just a few blocks from the city’s
downtown ballpark, this project is part of a
movement to create a new residential
neighborhood and retail destination. The
building combines a modern, urban archi-
tectural vernacular with a community-ori-
ented approach to massing and street
presence. Two-story retail spaces (limited in
size to encourage local business) front
Fourth Street, with two-story townhouses
opening onto the smaller “neighborhood”
streets on both sides of the project.
Residential parking is tucked behind the
retail and townhouses, topped by an expan-
sive third-story podium with a clubhouse
and outdoor gathering spaces.

76 For-Sale Condominiums
62 Parking Spaces
This project in San Francisco’s Mission
District combines flats and two-level town-
houses for a total of 76 for-sale residential
units. An existing three-story brick ware-
house has been transformed into 23 resi-
dential units. A new courtyard building
adjacent to the warehouse houses 53 units.
Five levels of residences overlook a court-
yard situated one level below grade, with
four levels overlooking street views.
Parking is housed in two levels below the
courtyard. The design of the new construc-
tion is distinctly urban in character. An
eclectic vocabulary of architectural refer-
ences reflects the neighborhood, which
includes residential, industrial, commercial
and retail enterprises. A mixture of materi-
als, combined with set-back elements, bays
and covered balconies, creates a lively
facade.

Suzhou Mixed-use Concept

This project imagery represents a com-
missioned design concept for a mixed-
use commercial development in the
heart of Suzhou, China. Designed to
create an iconic presence on the city
skyline, the contemporary design fea-
tures a signature 17-story circular tower
that steps down to 10 stories, and then
to 7-story components which wrap dra-
matically around the arrival sequence.

SB Architects designed the project con-
cept and residential portions of this large
mixed-use project in the heart of the San
Francisco Bay Area. The one, two and
three-bedroom residences are located in
two to four stories over a two to three-
story retail and parking podium. The resi-
dential structures are designed around a
series of courtyards, which are visible
from the street. This design serves sever-
al purposes. It gives the illusion of numer-
ous layers and buildings within each sin-
gle-structure footprint, brings light and
views to the interior units, and creates a
series of on-podium outdoor spaces for
residents - resulting in a “community
above the street.”

Located on a prominent site in midtown
Manhattan, this project is designed as a
true mixed-use environment situated verti-
cally in the context of an urban highrise.
Four levels of retail will anchor the complex
to the streetscape of the neighborhood,
with 12 levels of office space directly above
it. The centerpiece of the structure, occupy-
ing levels 17-24, will be a club-style boutique
hotel with a state-of-the-art spa and func-
tion space. Seventy levels of residential will
top off this iconic structure (which will rise to
1000’) offering spectcular views of Central
Park and the city context.
This project is the centerpiece of an
expansive new mixed-use development on
the Huizhou peninsula, overlooking the
South China Sea. Named for the pair of
moon-shaped bays that flank the peninsu-
la, Double Moon Bay is a highly desirable
location known for its scenic hiking trails.
This beachfront town center has been
conceived to provide retail, dining and
entertainment - as well as a clubhouse
and sports center - for the large number
of occupants of and visitors to this new
community. Above the street-front, a bou-
tique hotel provides accommodations for
visitors to this popular destination.
