Driftwood Motel circa 1958

Driftwood Motel circa 1958

The Driftwood Motel was located at 17121 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles, Florida and was another of Norman Giller’s designs from 1952. It was built in two separate stages, the first was a two story section on the north side of the site, then later another three story section was joined to the existing structure to complete the motel.

Also notice the S-curved second story glass wall above the auto parking area.
