New York-based architecture and design firm ODA-Architecture has released renderings of its Ombelle project, a pair of mixed-use towers in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Developer Dependable Equities tapped ODA to design the architecture, interiors, and landscape for the 1.5-million-square-foot structure.

The development, which comprises two mirrored 43-story towers, will offer 1,100 rental units, 11,217 square feet of retail space, and 27,837 square feet of indoor amenities. Ombelle is proposed to rise at 300 Northeast 3rd Avenue in the city’s growing Flagler Village neighborhood. 

The two defining, sculpted towers rise from a 9-story podium, which is supported by a double-height colonnade. According to the architects, this reinforces a visual connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces and is aimed to foster public activity. The ground level is designed to house a mix of retail and restaurants, with open-air seating.

The structure’s façade is defined by an outer shell of terraces and balconies varying in depth, length, and density. The building’s amenities include a lobby and lounge areas, two pools (one with a nearby work lounge and another larger infinity pool), an outdoor bar area and kitchen, gym, game room, library, spa as well as dance and yoga studios.

Ombelle will be joined by another recently-proposed, ODA-designed project in Fort Lauderdale, the 1.8 million-square-foot, multi-volume 300 West Broward development defined by a distinct open void. 

Dependable Equities has requested site plan approvals from the Development Review Committee for the proposed design. Archinect will have more details as they become available.
