Elevator Door and Architectural Resurfacing Project at One Biscayne Tower in Miami, Florida

Elevator Lobby Renovation

Elevator Lobby Renovation With Belbien

Engineered Group recently completed a comprehensive architectural resurfacing and elevator refurbishment project at One Biscayne Tower, a prominent high-rise office building located in the heart of Downtown Miami, Florida. This project demonstrates how modern architectural film solutions can transform commercial interiors while minimizing downtime, disruption, and renovation costs.

By resurfacing elevator doors, elevator cabs, and interior wall surfaces on every floor, Engineered Group delivered a refined, cohesive upgrade that enhanced both the appearance and durability of these high-traffic areas—without the need for demolition or full replacement.

Project Overview: One Biscayne Tower

Property Name: One Biscayne Tower
Address:
2 Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL 33131

One Biscayne Tower is a well-known commercial office building situated along Biscayne Boulevard, serving a wide range of professional tenants and daily visitors. As with many downtown office towers, maintaining clean, modern, and durable common areas—especially elevators—is critical to tenant satisfaction and overall property value.

Elevators serve as one of the most frequently used and highly visible elements of any commercial building. Over time, elevator doors, cab interiors, and surrounding walls are exposed to constant use, resulting in scratches, fading, and dated finishes. For this project, the property team sought a solution that would modernize the interior without extended elevator shutdowns or costly replacement.

Why Architectural Resurfacing Was the Right Choice

Architectural resurfacing using premium interior films has become a preferred solution for commercial building renovations across South Florida. Instead of removing existing materials, resurfacing allows new finishes to be applied directly over existing surfaces, dramatically reducing project time and cost.

At One Biscayne Tower, resurfacing provided several key benefits:

  • Minimal disruption to tenants and visitors

  • Faster project completion compared to traditional renovation

  • Significant cost savings over replacement

  • Enhanced durability for high-traffic areas

  • A high-end, modern aesthetic

This approach allowed the building to remain operational while still achieving a dramatic interior transformation.

Scope of Work: Elevators and Interior Wall Surfaces

The Engineered Group team completed architectural resurfacing across all floors of the building, including:

  • Elevator doors

  • Elevator cab interiors

  • Interior wall surfaces surrounding elevators

These areas experience constant wear and are often the first impression for tenants, clients, and guests. By resurfacing these elements throughout the tower, Engineered Group ensured a consistent, polished appearance across the entire property.

Material Selection: Belbien WR-2190 Dark Oak Architectural Film

For this project, Engineered Group installed Belbien WR-2190 Dark Oak architectural film, a premium surfacing solution known for its realistic wood-grain appearance and commercial-grade performance.

Benefits of Belbien Architectural Film

Belbien architectural films are widely used in office buildings, hotels, and high-rise properties due to their durability and design versatility. The WR-2190 Dark Oak finish offers:

  • A rich, modern wood-grain appearance

  • Excellent scratch and impact resistance

  • Moisture and humidity resistance

  • Easy maintenance and cleaning

  • Fire-rated performance for commercial interiors

This made Belbien WR-2190 an ideal choice for a downtown Miami office tower where both aesthetics and performance are essential.

Achieving a High-End Look Without Full Replacement

One of the standout advantages of architectural film resurfacing is the ability to achieve a premium, custom look without removing existing doors or wall panels. At One Biscayne Tower, the Dark Oak finish provided a warm, sophisticated appearance that elevated the building’s interior while maintaining long-term durability.

The finished result delivered:

  • A cohesive design across all elevator areas

  • Updated finishes that align with modern commercial aesthetics

  • Improved resistance to daily wear and tear

This type of upgrade helps office buildings remain competitive in demanding urban markets like Downtown Miami.

Designed for High-Traffic Commercial Environments

Downtown Miami commercial buildings experience constant foot traffic, making durability a top priority. Elevator doors and cabs are particularly vulnerable to damage from carts, luggage, and daily use by tenants and visitors.

Belbien architectural film is engineered to withstand these conditions, making it a smart long-term investment. Its durability helps reduce ongoing maintenance costs while preserving the building’s refreshed appearance.
