While available imagery of the design is currently limited to the above, Foster + Partners promises its twinning towers for Miami will create an "engaging public realm" at the ground level by relegating parking to beneath- and above-ground structures, the latter of which will be wrapped with retail and dwelling units. The luxury condo development will be located in downtown Miami's Brickell neighborhood.
The Towers' reinforced concrete form, according to a press release from the firm, was designed "primarily for environmental reasons – shading the apartments within the building whilst maximising daylight – which also gives the building its unique appearance on the skyline." The Towers will also have special moving louvres, that will serve as wind breakers when lowered over the central plaza.
Foster + Partners' expansion for Miami's Norton Museum of Art also broke ground earlier this year.
