Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott and US studio Cube 3 have designed the Delano Residences in Miami, which is set to join a growing number of supertall skyscrapers in the city.
The Delano Residences Miami skyscraper will be located in Downtown Miami, not far from the city’s first supertall skyscraper, the stacked-box Waldorf Astoria Miami, which is currently under construction and was also designed by Carlos Ott.
It will reach 90 storeys and 985 feet at its highest point (300 metres), according to the team, while the stacked cubes of the Waldorf Astoria Miami are set top out at 1,049 feet (320 metres).
The building will be developed by PMG, developer of the Waldorf, and hospitality company Ennismore, which is partnered with hotel brand Delano Hotels.
The building will contain 421 residences, with interior design by New York studio Meyer Davis, as well as amenities such as a fitness centre and pool deck. A restaurant, bar and observation deck will also be located on the upper floors.
Renderings of the building show a highly reflective facade and a slim, canoe-shaped form. The crown of the tower curves inward to create a softened point, while layers of glass appear gently peeled away from the top.
Terraces run down either side of the building.
“This property is conceived as a vertical resort, layered laterally, where each ascent introduces a newenvironment,” said Meyer Davis co-founder Will Meyer.
“Filtered light, sculptural circulation, andlayered landscapes blur interior and exterior, creating a cocoon of energy and calmness that unfoldsintuitively, inviting guests to move seamlessly through atmosphere, texture, and experience.”
According to the team, a construction timeline is not currently available.
It will be the first branded residences for Delano Hotels, which is also set to reopen the historic, art deco hotel Delano Miami Beach this spring following extensive renovations to the property.
Other supertall skyscrapers in Miami include a Dolce & Gabbana-branded skyscraper in Brickell and a tower by Foster + Partners that is set to contain the relocated headquarters of hedge fund Citadel.
