New renderings of Zaha Hadid Architect‘s 215 meter-high One Thousand Museum
Tower in downtown Miami have been released. As the first Zaha Hadid-designed
skyscraper to grace the skyline of the Western Hemisphere, the 60-story luxury
condominium will mask its program with a prominent concrete exoskeleton. As
Hadid described to the Wall Street Journal, the tower is designed with an
interest in “how the structure is manifested” so that it may avoid the “generic
modernist typology” that is commonly found in Miami.
One Thousand Museum
Tower is one of several by high-profile architects that are beginning to take
root in Miami, changing the tide of investment from real estate that is solely
driven by waterfront locations to architecture that is high-end and
luxurious.
The building’s 83-condos – ranging from 5,400 to 11,000 square
feet and featuring amenities such as private elevators, media rooms, and
libraries – will cost $5 and $15 million per unit. Community amenities will
include a helipad, a deck with multiple pools and cabanas, rooftop event spaces,
a cigar lounge, sun decks and billiards rooms, a fitness center and a screen
room.
The ground floor, leasable to commercial space, will aim to attract
high-end retail and restaurants within a multi-height corner cut-away of the
building. Residents will be greeted by a drop entrance which transitions into an
open lobby whose exterior and interior is blended by a continuation of similar
materials. Though the color scheme is largely neutral, areas of accent are
planned to bring out points of interest within the building’s interior.
At
its base, the podium will function as the community space within the tower that
offers a landscape of water features intertwined with pools, saunas and cabanas.
At the building’s rooftop, private programs such as a helipad, lap pool, lounge
pool and sun deck, along with work out facilities, event spaces and dining
areas, will be divided up amongst a series of alternating levels.
The tower’s
massive concrete exoskeleton, standing in stark contrast with the delicate and
transparent glazing system, will form delicate curves around the curtain wall
system to conceal a series of platforms and balconies. This structure will
continue to flow over the podium, which articulated with large perforated metal
panels, to ground itself at the street level while visually unifying the
structure as a single object within the skyline.
