THE NEW WORLD CENTER / by Eric Monteiro

Thierry Isambert Culinary and Event Design is exclusive caterer to the New World Center.

The New World Center is an iconic venue in the heart of Miami Beach. It is the exquisite result of a collaboration between Pritzker-winning architect, Frank Gehry, and Michael Tilson Thomas, 10 time Grammy winner and artistic director of the New World Symphony.

Designed by world renowned architect, Frank Gehry, the building is a masterpiece and offers numerous exceptional spaces for hosting events. The New World Center’s architecture and immersive technology provide deeply impactful experiences, from the arts to private events, catered weddings, conferences, conventions and related activities. Imagine using such a space to invite people to celebrate with you or interact with your business or brand in new and exciting ways.


Performance Hall

Capacity: 1200 seated  with fixed and flat floor seating; 400 seated for dinner on flat floor with retraction; 756 seated in the traditional round concert format.

The Performance Hall is highly configurable and multimedia enabled, and it is renowned for its technical capabilities and acoustic integrity. The myriad of distinctive seating and stage variations remove the boundaries of traditional presentation formats and minimize the distance between the audience and the stage.


ATRIUM

The spectacular New World Center atrium features cascading geometric shapes, curved surfaces and a vaulted ceiling with six stories of natural light. The glass backlit bar, which serves as a concession stand run by Thierry Isambert Culinary and Event Design during major events, is central to the atrium. The bar is situated beneath an ocean-inspired titanium canopy designed by famed architect Frank Gehry.


SUNTRUST PAVILLION

Capacity:  250 standing; 160 guests seated for dinner; 170 seated theater-style in rows.

This 2,700 sq ft space is designed to accommodate a full orchestra rehearsal or a recording session, the towering SunTrust Pavilion is ideal for corporate presentations, lectures, dinners and receptions, theater-style panel discussions and intimate artistic presentations of musical performances, film screenings and private gallery-style art shows.

When rented on its own, or in conjunction with other spaces, the SunTrust Pavilion takes on new life. It functions as a high-tech breakout space for conferences and annual meetings just as nicely as it converts to an elegant dining space for a private dinner.


ROOFTOP GARDEN

A panoramic vista of Miami Beach from Biscayne Bay to the Atlantic Ocean makes the rooftop garden an ideal location for chic receptions, high-end dinners, private parties and intimate performances.
