Oppenheim architecture + design recently won unanimous approval for COR, a Green building in Miami’s Design District.

The building produces its own energy, using alternative technologies, and employs a wide variety of cost-effective design strategies.
COR extracts power from its environment by utilizing the latest developments in wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, and solar hot water generation. A hyper-efficient exoskeleton shell simultaneously provides building structure, thermal mass for insulation, shading for natural cooking, enclosure for terraces, armatures for turbines, and loggias for congregating on the ground.

The industrial-inspired interior spaces are rooted in functionality and flexibility. Versatile, light-filled interiors and high-tech building infrastructure establish a unique balance between sleek professional spaces and comfortable residential spaces.
Restaurants and retailers on the ground floor will add to COR’s urbanist personality allowing the building to engage the street and create a dynamic venue for pedestrian interaction.

The project is a collaboration between Chad Oppenheim, engineer Ysrael Seinuk, and energy consultants Buro Happold.

Total height: 400 feet
The building will break ground in 2007.
