<br />Robert Draper, RASenior Architect
<br />experience
<br />Mr. Draper has worked for BEA while obtaining two degrees in architecture and working his way up
<br />from CADD Technician to Job Captain. He has been involved in a myriad of projects at almost every
<br />level and is heavily utilized for his construction document expertise.
<br />Great Florida Bank, Miami-Dade County, FL. Mr. Draper worked on the design and construction
<br />document phases of this design/build project, including interior design, of three branch banks in the
<br />Miami metropolitan area (Doral, Coral Gables, Pinecrest). Square footage for all three branches totals
<br />4900 with construction costs totaling $487,000. Mr. Draper also handled permitting, bidding, and
<br />construction administration.
<br />Cynthia Reed Art Gallery, Coral Gables, FL. Design and construction document phases, construction
<br />administration, permitting and bidding for a design-build renovation of a 2-story, 8200 sf office into an art
<br />gallery designed by BEA. The showroom features a central skylight which required removing structural
<br />poles, so columns on the side were doubled in size. Twenty-one clear story windows totaling 360 sf
<br />around the ceiling’s northern periphery contribute to the interior’s natural lighting. The clear story is
<br />constructed of steal for structural support. The central elevator also was relocated. The roof is a heavy,
<br />complex wood structure with enough steel connectors to withstand the strongest winds. The gallery
<br />occupies the front lobby and second floor while rental space is provided in the rear of the first floor.
<br />Maroone Nissan, Miami, FL. Mr. Draper worked in the construction documents phase for this $4
<br />million, 40,000 sf compound which consists of different facilities—a two-story, 12,000 sf showroom; and
<br />a 28,000 sf service center with a storage mezzanine—on two sites separated by a street. Architecturally,
<br />the buildings share a modern vocabulary of precast concrete and smooth metal panels consistent with
<br />Nissan’s national standards.
<br />Bill Seidle Dealerships. Construction documents for complete A/E services for two dealerships.
<br />Suzuki in Davie, FL: 11,000 sf, $1.2 million new facility including site improvements (Mr Draper also
<br />handled permitting for this project). Nissan in Miami, FL: 5,000 sf 2nd-floor addition, $2.75 million.
<br />POMTOC Gate Complex, Miami, FL. Design-build of a new cargo gate complex, including support
<br />infrastructure, for over 120 acres of land for the Port of Miami. The project includes wireless
<br />communications and video surveillance for the entire 120-acre terminal facility. The project increases the
<br />Port of Miami Terminal Operating Company’s (POMTOC) number of daily gate moves from a maximum
<br />of 1100 to 1800. The project includes a 16-lane high-tech gatehouse allowing all transactions to occur
<br />at this remote facility. Fiberoptic raceways transfer data to and from the gatehouse and office complex.
<br />In addition, four of the 16 lanes are designed to be reversible, allowing POMTOC the flexibility to rapidly
<br />accommodate peak traffic flows. One hundred-foot-high radio antenna poles are located throughout
<br />the 120 acres, transferring pickup and delivery information to the top-loader operators.
<br />Cruise Terminals D & E, Port of Miami, FL. Mr. Draper worked in the design and construction document
<br />phases as well as in permitting for new terminals that will serve as Carnival’s center of operations for its
<br />Miami-based fleet. A focus of the twin terminals is the integration of advanced security measures into
<br />the design. The design of the two buildings, totaling 230,000 square feet, is inspired by the openness
<br />of airport hangars; that is, the large span structures are tension-supported with steel trusses and offer
<br />extensive uninterrupted interior space with ocean views. Value-engineering analysis was applied
<br />throughout the design phase in anticipation of a fast-track, phased construction schedule.
<br />Cruise Terminals 3, 4 & 5, Port of Miami, FL. Construction documents for this $60 million revamping
<br />of cruise terminals at the Port of Miami. He designed new facilities to accommodate two Legend
<br />Class ships or two Eagle Class ships simultaneously. The plan called for a multiphased, two-year
<br />construction operation.
