This is Rick Gonzalez' firm. They worked on some projects while I was with the Mar-a-Lago Club and Trump International. He also did the Courthouse restoration in downtown West Palm Beach and the "Harriet" at City Place, among others.

More will come tomorrow...
One that jumps out to me so far in terms of design and historic preservation is the version presented by Beilinson/Gomez. It is very literal and includes actual elements of restoration, keeping the southern, two story part of the building intact design-wise. Then they recreate the original building in its former location - with a modern design device separating the two styles. It shows how the building progressed over time and the modern element is there as if to say they aren't trying to fool anyone. So far, this comes closest to being consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards for Historic Preservation.
Donaldson Group did not submit renderings with their RFQ...
...however they do have examples of previous work in the response.
BRPH Casino Building Plans from RFQ Response
Bessolo did not include renderings with their RFQ response...
...click here for their proposal. They do include pictures of previous projects.
Beach Casino RFQ Responses
I'm in the process of going through the responses. I'll be separating out the graphics from the packages and post them here. Be aware that these are highly conceptual and subject to change based upon Commission and resident input - at least one would hope. These will be put up in the order they appear on the city's website. Commentary on the proposals will come later.
Some historic pictures from our New Zealand connection...
In a previous post, we were introduced to Wm. M. Stafford, formerly of Lake Worth. He sent some pictures from the mid 1960s a few days ago - here is one of Capt. Stafford at the Lake Worth boat ramp - circa 1964.
Looking east from Bryant Park towards the barrier island. Notice the old bridge.
The Amaryllis beached on Singer Island after Hurricane Betsy in 1965. Click here for a PB Post reminiscence.
Notice the crew on deck - apparently they stayed with the ship until it was removed from the beach.
