The Summit at Melbourne Place is located in Melbourne, Florida. The project is located on a very important infill site which provides an important pedestrian link through a garden walk that connects the historic downtown to the waterfront parks along the Indian River Lagoon. The project program consists of approximately 168 condominium and townhouse units, a 110 room boutique hotel, approximately 10,000 SF to retail, a 2,700 SF restaurant, landscaped amenities deck with two pools and a spa, fitness center and lounge on top of a 3-story parking structure.

The architecture of the residential tower is streamlined, modern and playful - it draws inspiration from the tropical/Brazil/Florida mid century modern beach architecture - the roof is a floating aerodynamic concrete plane shaped a bit like a surfboard and dramatically up-lit from below, where it is held aloft by a curving pillar. The palette of the building is ocean and surfing inspired, from the "nautilus" mailroom to the "blue tube" elevator bank.

The boutique hotel is located over a "green skin" of lower scaled boutique retail. The hotel appears to be floating above a layer of tropical foliage - the two bars of the hotel slide past each other. One bar is made of brick and related to the materiality of the historic New Haven Avenue, which is the "main street" of Melbourne. The other hotel bar is stucco and glass and relates more to the materials and modern feel of the new residential tower.
