VISION
WHY RE-IMAGINE THE INVERTED PYRAMID?

The inverted pyramid is sealed in the memories of
many residents of this community, as they reflect
back on wonderful times spent as a child, with a
family member, or as a solitary explorer. It remains
today as a powerful physical presence on our skyline.
Pull away the multi-colored cubes, the jumbled mix
of retail shops and upper level planar glass panels,
and the inverted pyramid is a beautiful, pure form.
Our design turns it into a crystal, a diamond, a gem,
with a reflective surface that will glisten and sparkle.
It is more sustainable to re-use the structure rather
than disposing of it. Construction time and related
fossil fuels will be saved. Less new materials and
resources will be required to provide a significant
building via renovation than if we were building the
structure new. We are able to provide the city more
amenities and square footage for less money by
keeping the existing structure.
Historical preservation is also a consideration. The
structure is a unique representation of modern
architecture. It was designed by one of the Citys
preeminent architects, William Harvard, Sr. The
buildings unique historical characteristic lies in
its structural system and shape, both of which we
intend to highlight. Stripping away all aspects of the
building that were constructed in the 1980s or later
will also help bring the building back to its original
form.
Our Pier is a repurposed, reimagined, historic yet
contemporary icon.
Pull away the multi-colored cubes, the jumbled mix of

retail shops and upper level planar glass panels, and the

VISION
THE DESTINATION
Our current downtown waterfront offers amazing
opportunities
for
both
passive
and
active
experiences but lately, as people approach the Pier,

the question most often in peoples minds is what
will I do out there? We have answered that call
with a multitude of active, fun, recreational activities
to complement existing experiences. At the New St.
Pete Pier, opportunities will be spaced all along the
promenade, beginning with the Spa Beach Grill. As
you walk toward the Pier Head, you will encounter
a new, unique St. Petersburg experience, every 60
seconds.
Play on the beach, eat a hamburger, savor an ice
cream cone, drink a beverage, enjoy an intimate
dinner, take in the view, or relax beneath the shade.
Rent a paddleboard, climb a bouldering wall, play
volleyball, strike up a ping pong or chess game, lie
above the water on the Grand Hammock, or catch
a fish. The waterfront experience at the Pier will be
unforgettable and one that you will want to enjoy
over and over again.
Whether you are a native or a tourist, part of a
family or an individual, all should enjoy our beautiful
waterfront. It is our number one attraction and what
defines our unique City.
VISION
Mindful of the desire to attract both tourists and residents
and to keep them coming back, our design strives to
provide opportunities for each and every program
element requested. Our design form derives its shape
from the placement of these program elements and is
a true reflection of form following function. Functional
and efficient, our design provides safe, delineated

SPA BEACH
A LINK TO THE PAST
As the historical living room for the City, Spa Beach served as a prime urban escape without
having to leave downtown. The amenities once fostered a sense of community and helped
to enrich the overall downtown waterfront experience.
REVITALIZED EXPANDED SPA BEACH

Through the Piers history Spa Beach has been the most
significant recreation feature on the uplands. It once
spanned the entire north peninsula within the current
sea walls. It was the quintessential vantage point for
countless postcards and pictures. It once had volleyball
courts, cabanas, and a playground. Our team wants
to bring the beach back to prominence by providing
a significant expansion of the current beach and give
the recreational programs back to the community. We
would return the sand above the current seawall and
triple the existing beach size. This method is historically
accurate and it eliminates permitting hurdles that
would arise from filling additional sand in the bay itself
due to significant areas of sea grass adjacent to the
current beach.
We also believe there is another benefit to placing a
large area of beach above the sea wall. Over time as
the sea rises, this portion of the beach will be preserved.
The beach will have kayak condos built into the side of
the new approach berm. A bouldering climbing area
will also be located on the side of the pier approach
berm adjacent to the beach. The wall will extend over
both sand and water to provide an additional play
feature at a minimal cost. Volleyball courts will be
provided and cater to the AVP which recently used this
location for a beach volleyball tournament. We also
envision a grove of palm trees shading outdoor ping
pong tables and chess/checkers boards.
The reimagined Spa beach will allow older generations
to reminisce while new generations rediscover our only
downtown beach.
A variety of retail opportunities such as the Spa Beach Grill will support the new
Piers recreational elements and enhance the visitor experience.

SPA BEACH GRILL

A beachside grill will serve the beach and the pier
approach. The design would integrate seamlessly into
the park by simply pulling the ground up to provide
shade and shelter. The grass roof would be a walkable
observation point providing optimal views of the Bay
and activities. Concessions located directly on the
beach make Spa Beach Grill a desirable destination for
both locals and tourists.

A LINK TO THE PAST
St. Petersburg is famous for its beautiful waterfront views that are enhanced by the Piers
outreach into the Bay. The community traveled out to the Pier Head by foot, railroad,
vehicles and trams to enjoy the breathtaking views.
THE PIER APPROACH

The Pier will feature a new bridge approach that offers
its own special experiences of observation, movement,
places to rest, facilities for fishing, and shaded
amenities to enhance the pedestrian experience. It
will have sidewalks for pedestrians, designated lanes
for bicycles, and two lanes for trolley, public trams,
emergency vehicles, service vehicles and limited
automobile access. It will have areas of shade, rest,
observation and public art to make the experience
varied and enjoyable. Vehicular traffic will be 15 mph
speed controlled and safe, pedestrian crossings will
be offered. There will be no parking along the Bridge
Approach or at the Pyramid.
A lower level for recreational fishing will be placed
on the north side of the approach near water level.
It will have accessible ramp access to a bait and
tackle shop. It will be connected to the upper level for
convenience, access to restrooms, drinking fountains
and transportation.
Opportunities for shade, colorful planting and points of interest will engage
pedestrians along the walk, making their journey to the pier a pleasurable experience.

THE PIER HEAD

A LINK TO THE PAST
The Pier Head has served for many years as the platform for over-water public gathering,
"festival market" style retail space, and a tourist destination in downtown St. Petersburg.
Original model created by Harvard Jolly Architecture, 1968
THE PIER HEAD

The Pier Head is a place for discovery, contemplation,
entertainment, picnicking, and play. It is a destination
that beckons patrons to explore further. If we want
residents to frequent the New Pier then we must provide
a design that can be experienced differently with each
visit. Instead of one path provided around the current
pyramid head we will have three levels, two stairs,
and two ramps. Patrons will now have countless path
combinations creating their own unique experience.
Some may choose to stay on the Main Deck where it is
partially shaded. Some may choose to be completely
shaded at the lower Party Deck. Still others may select
to get closer to the water at the Fishing Deck. As you
continue your exploration new activities and spaces
are revealed around every turn.
The New Pier Head will have a large circular opening
around the base of the pyramid exposing the water
below. This simplifies the new platform construction
since pile driving under the pyramid overhang will be
more challenging. There will now be an exciting view
of the pyramid, emerging, as it were, from the Bay. This
beneficially exposes the sea bed below to sunlight it has
not experienced in over 80 years. The arrival platform
will have three deck levels to provide views, activities
and fishing from different heights. All deck levels are
interconnected via stairs, accessible walkways and
ramps and the existing Pyramid is connected to the
Main Deck by two bridges which span across the large
circular opening.
PIER HEAD ARRIVAL AND THE SUNSET CAF
The Pier Head will be a place for

observation, picnicking, rest and play.
MAIN DECK
The Main Deck will feature an information station, a
souvenir concession, a bicycle-share area and a small
event lawn.
PARTY DECK
The Party Deck will extend from below the main deck
providing continuous shade around the pier head.
Programming will include flexible performance space,
an outdoor caf, a kid zone and an open ice-cream
parlor.
FISHING DECK
The Fishing Deck is the lowest level and closest to the
water. To encourage fishing in this area we would
like to explore an artificial reef utilizing some of the
demolished concrete structure. Between the fishing
deck and the Party Deck would be a Grand Hammock.
The hammock is an opportunity to climb suspended
over the water and a relaxing space to take in the view.
Contemporary, casual, fun... "Let's meet at the Sunset Caf."

Located on the Main Deck in the northwest corner, this
info. booth will provide an important meeting spot and
place for visitors to get information about daily events
and special activities at the Pier.

ramp can also be used to access the Main Deck.

THE FISHING DECK

At the Pier Head, a lower level for recreational fishing
will be placed on the southeast side of the Head, also
near water level. It will be connected to the Party Deck
level via two accessible ramps which provide access to
restrooms, drinking fountains and a souvenir stand.
THE GRAND HAMMOCK

Suspended between the Fishing Deck and the Party
Deck is the Grand Hammock, a heavy duty netting
made of a stainless steel inner layer and a woven

A LINK TO THE PAST

With the emphasis of the Pier design being around and on
the water, it was natural to have a waterfall element inside
the original Inverted Pyramid. A ring of water, creating a
cylindrical waterfall at the center of the building, connected
the first and second levels.

THE ST. PETE PIER WATERFALLS
PUBLIC ART
THE ST. PETE PIER WATERFALLS

What force of nature captures the senses, ignites the
imagination, and attracts your attention more than a large
waterfall? At the new St. Pete Pier, you will feel the cool
breeze created by falling water and hear the soothing
sound of water falling into the Bay below. Now imagine a
waterfall that can also be used as a canvas for video and
light which would be large enough to be visible from the
entire waterfront. Artists can transform this water canvas
into St. Petersburgs largest interactive Public Art piece.
The opportunities are endless: video mapping shows,
light displays, movies, or temporary large scale image
projections. We envision the waterfalls as an integral Public
Art component that brings together St. Petes two greatest
attractions: Art and Water.
SKY DECK WATERFALL

This large waterfall is just one of the rewards at the end of
your stroll out to the Pier Head. It is the must see event.
We envision that the waterfall system on the west side of
the Pyramid would operate a minimum of once per day
for example at noon or sunset. It could potentially be
more frequently used on weekends, holidays, and special
events. Like the glittering lights of the Eiffel Tower in Paris or
the Belllagio fountain in Las Vegas, this special event will
become a much anticipated occurrence that will beckon
visitors of all ages to stay and enjoy the spectacle.
ENTRY BRIDGE WATERFALL

A second waterfall feature will be positioned along the
pedestrian bridge leading to the west side of the Pyramids
Main Entrance. This system will run continuously during
operating hours and give visitors the opportunity to stroll
between two walls of water.

A LINK TO THE PAST
The innovative design of the inverted pyramid was born from practical and functional
considerations. The goals were to provide expansive views to the water and the city beyond,
as well as create a large observation deck at the highest level. The economic solution to
minimize the buildings footprint at the lowest level was obtained by penetrating through
the platform with four closely spaced caissons. The result was the now iconic building form.
The Pyramid will become, once more, a platform for our citys continued growth and
development.

Prominent on our skyline, an exclamation point at the
end of our Pier and extending out into the Bay, the
Inverted Pyramid will continue to be a symbol for our
community. Audiences of all ages will be drawn to
explore and enjoy this destination. The re-imagined
Inverted Pyramid will become a timeless centerpiece
of the new Pier and Downtown waterfront experience,
allowing once again for the most powerful views of our
beautiful home.
The Pyramid is not just a symbol for our city it is a
representation of our people and a powerful physical
presence on our waterfront. Many of us have fond
memories of events at the end of the pier, of wonderful
times spent as a child, with a family member, or as a
solitary explorer, and it is our belief these fond memories
will be enhanced with a revitalization.
FIRST LEVEL
The existing first level of the inverted pyramid is below
the new FEMA flood plane elevation, and will be
abandoned and demolished. Therefore, what was the
second floor will become the new first floor, or Main
Deck level.
The new first floor will offer visitors a dramatic visual
connection to the water below via a circular opening
in the floor covered with structural glass. A beautiful
winding stair will connect to the floors above. Access
to new public restrooms, high speed elevators and fire
egress stairs will also be provided.
FIRST LEVEL
SECOND LEVEL
The new second level will offer flexible event space
with expansive views to the downtown waterfront and
Tampa Bay. Visitors will be able to gain access to this
level via the winding stair or high speed elevators. The
atrium space created by the opening for the winding
stair will create a visual connection between all three
levels, making for a grander experience.
SECOND LEVEL
SECOND LEVEL VIEW TO THE DOWNTOWN WATERFRONT
THIRD LEVEL
The new third level will offer even more flexible event
space with expansive views all along the perimeter.
Even from this level, visitors will still be able to visually
connect with the water below via the atrium.
THIRD LEVEL
FOURTH LEVEL SKY DECK

The Sky Deck is the communitys observation level, open
and free to all visitors. It will offer open-air panoramic
views of the downtown waterfront and Tampa Bay. The
new roof structure will provide much-needed relief from
direct sun exposure and the occasional rain shower.
Visitors will see and hear the flow of water from the Sky
Deck Waterfall along the western edge. In addition
to observation, visitors will have access to dining and
refreshment options. An Event Oculus on the east side
makes an ideal space for weddings or other significant
occasions.

space for a variety of activities. The 360-degree views
of the waterfront and downtown St. Pete could make
this a premier destination. Events such as dancing,
receptions, gallery exhibits, auctions and other
fundraising events would fit ideally in this space.

SKY DECK RESTAURANT

The air-conditioned Sky Deck Restaurant offers a unique
dining experience. Tables, booths, indoor and outdoor
bars and two private dining areas can accommodate
175 people. The curvlinear floorplan complements the
geometric shape of the Inverted Pyramid. The floor-toceiling glass offers impressive views of the downtown
skyline.

The success of the new Pier project will lie in its ability
to connect the downtown waterfront to the Uplands
and Spa Beach, Spa Beach to the Pier and more
importantly, the residents of St. Pete to the water. Our
design provides multiple levels of connectivity through
the use of existing Trolley services and a new City
provided tram (similar to those at Disney World). It also
provides the ability to safely access the end of the Pier
using a personal vehicle, a bicycle, a segway, or by
foot.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN STRATEGY

Our preliminary structural analysis has shown that there
is reserve capacity in many of the existing column and
angled strut steel framing members. The structure has
the capacity to support the proposed added roof level.
A detailed structural model will be created to thoroughly
analyze the existing and new framing using SAP 2000, a
State-of-the-Art analytical computer software program,
to confirm that all framing members can support the
new loads. Any isolated members or connections that
do need to be strengthened due to new stresses will be
done so locally in the areas identified by our analysis.
STRUCTURAL CODE COMPLIANCE

The wind speeds currently specified for design of new
buildings by the 2010 Florida Building Code, and the
upcoming 5th edition of the FBC, are higher than
those used for building design when the original Pier
structure was designed circa 1969-70. Based on our
preliminary analysis, the existing base columns and
foundations have sufficient capacity to resist todays
code wind loads. With the unique geometry of the
building frame, there are many more framing members,
such as the perimeter angled columns and floor struts,
that transfer lateral wind forces from the upper floors
into the foundation. All of the framing members will
be checked for all current code wind, as well as dead

than vertical walls collecting wind load, and the wind

codes are historically conservative as they are intended
to apply to many different building geometries, we will
recommend obtaining a wind tunnel study to determine
more accurate design wind pressures for this building.
Wind tunnel studies, which consist of placing a scale
model of the proposed building inside a wind tunnel and
measuring the actual pressures at numerous places on
the building surface, are widely recognized as the most
accurate method for determining wind pressures on a
building. This study will prevent an overly conservative
analysis of the existing building frame (which may show
existing members need to be strengthened when they
dont), and optimize the design of the perimeter glazing
allowing as thin a system as possible.
TECHNICAL
INVERTED PYRAMID STRUCTURE

Our structural design approach involves reusing the
existing framing, and introducing several features that
will modify the structure, including adding a roof over
the level four observation deck and inserting a new
central spiral stair connecting the first three levels.
Our preliminary structural analysis has shown that there
is reserve capacity in many of the existing column and
angled strut steel framing members. The structure has
the capacity to support the proposed added roof level.
A detailed structural model will be created to thoroughly
analyze the existing and new framing using SAP 2000, a
State-of-the-Art analytical computer software program,
to confirm that all framing members can support the
new loads. Any isolated members or connections that
do need to be strengthened due to new stresses will be
done so locally in the areas identified by our analysis.

the geotechnical conditions and pier substructure in
1969. From conducting standard penetration borings,
a general soil profile was interpreted and found to
be uniform in texture and stratification.

INTEGRATION INTO DOWNTOWN

WATERFRONT PARK SYSTEM
The Pier experience begins at Beach Drive and
Bayshore Drive. We suggest an outline for the future
Uplands Park that integrates seamlessly with the Spa
Beach improvements, Spa Beach Grill, Ramp, and
Pier Approach. The implementation of this part of
the concept cannot be included in the current $33
million budget, but will need to come later using
other funding sources.
Nonetheless, even if not accomplished immediately,
the New Pier and Spa Beach design connects
with the existing roadway, parking and sidewalks.
However, we understand the new Downtown
Waterfront Master Plan will be completed in the
summer of 2015. Should our design be selected for
development by the City, our team would be glad to
work with the City to ensure the integration of Unity
Pier and Spa Beach into the Downtown Waterfront
Park System.
ELEMENTS INTEGRATED INTO OUR DESIGN
Stewardship of the Waterfront Environment
Enhancing the Experience of the Water
An Active Waterfront Parks System
Vibrant Downtown Places along the Water
A Connected, Accessible Downtown and
Waterfront

OPPORTUNITIES
An existing precedent to illustrate programmatic intent.
GREAT LAWN
A large, oval, flexible Great Lawn could be created by
redirecting vehicular traffic on 2nd Avenue North. This
design provides an expanded, contiguous green space
while also increasing safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
The Great Lawn is purposely unprogrammed to allow
for spontaneous play. This exciting performance space
is sloped at its southern end to expand Bay views,
similar to Vinoy Park. It could be twice as large as the
Demens Landing Event Lawn and provide another
venue for downtown events. The design may be sized
to accommodate events for up to 4,000 persons.
OPPORTUNITIES
PLAYGROUND
A large, modern, landscaped childrens playground
north of the Great Lawn, featuring bermed king-of-thehill mounds, slides, jungle gyms, a spray-grounds water
feature, a starter rollerpark for young skateboarders
and a variety of other childrens play equipment. This
area could also, quite possibly, house . . . a permanent
childrens merry-go-round or a temporary ferris wheel
during special events.
OPPORTUNITIES
SPLASH PAD
Located within the playground, a zero-depth, splash
pad could provide a safe recreation area for water
play. This splash pad could also provide an area to cool
off on a hot day after a run or jog.
OPPORTUNITIES
MODEL BOAT BASIN

A small, floating, circular deck, located in the southeast
corner of the Vinoy Basin, could provide a safe zone for
children to launch model boats.
OPPORTUNITIES
JANNUS MONUMENT
A space set aside for the proposed Tony Jannus
Monument at the proposed round-a-bout south of the
Great Lawn, near the original location of the Benoist
Airplane Hangar and the Benoist School of Aviation.
OPPORTUNITIES
St. Pete Design Group sketches for a swing-type bridge.
VINOY BRIDGE
A modern pedestrian and bicycle bridge could connect
Spa Beach and the Uplands Park to Vinoy Park. It could
swing open for larger vessels needing clearance to
enter the Vinoy basin. In its closed position it will provide
vertical clearance for the majority of boats in Tampa
St. Pete Design Group sketches for a swing-type bridge.
Bay.
OPPORTUNITIES
BOARDWALK AND DOCKS

An expanded boardwalk edging the beach and
continuing around the perimeter of the South Vinoy
Basin could provide a pathway for joggers, cyclists and
pedestrians.
Dockage for luxury yachts and the proposed St.
Petersburg - Tampa high-speed ferry could be provided
at the Vinoy Basin along the south seawall.
OPPORTUNITIES
TRANSPORTATION AND PATHWAYS

The City provided open-air tram system could travel east-west
along 2nd Avenue North from 2nd Street North at Sundial,
through the Uplands Park to the Pier
Head, with at the Museum of Fine Arts, the History Museum,
the Activity Center, the Event Lawn, Spa Beach, midway
along the bridge Approach and at the Pier Head.
A short bridge crossing the canal at the SW corner of the
Vinoy Basin could facilitate stronger pedestrian connections
to Bayshore Drive. At the Dolphin and Pelican parking lots,
new reconfigured layouts could return existing asphalt paving
to green space and landscaping. The lots would continue to
service the History and Fine Arts Museums, Beach Drive, Spa
Beach, and the Pier.
Expanded Cycling, walking and jogging paths throughout the
new Uplands Park and continue westward back to Bayshore
Drive could provide additional opportunities for residents and
visitors to truly connect with downtown and the water.
OPPORTUNITIES
Roof plan featuring 30-foot bands of PV panels along perimeter.
PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
The new roof over the Inverted Pyramid Sky Deck could
feature photovoltaic panels that convert the suns
energy into electricity. This would significantly reduce
facility operating cost. The 640 translucent photovoltaic
panels shown in the upper left hand corner plan
would each generate 195 watts to produce a total of
124,800 watts DC with a 125 KW DC rating. The power
factor is 125 x 0.85 derate factor to equal 106.25 KW.
The Power Factor = 1 so the 106.25 KW = 106.25 KVA.
Power production annually would be 106 KW x 1.5 KW =
160,000 Kwh. This type of panel is more efficient than a
typical installation as it takes advantage of both direct
and reflected sunlight.
