Tour: Miami Design District Museum Garage
Miami Design District’s latest garage has opened to the public. The project is a collaboration between WORKac, J. Mayer H., Clavel Arquitectos, Nicolas Buffe, K/R Architects, and Sagmeister & Walsh. Each firm has designed a portion of the garage’s facade to produce the effect of a collage spanning the entire enclosure.
WORKac’s facade consists of a four foot thickened space that allows for a vertical progression of public spaces, including a graffiti art gallery, children’s play area, a garden, a DJ platform, lending library, listening lounge, fountain, bar, car washing/charging station, and space for pets.
Architects/Designers: WORKac, J. Mayer H., Clavel Arquitectos, Nicolas Buffe, K/R Architects, and Sagmeister & Walsh; Program: Parking Garage; Location: Miami, FL; Completion: 2018.
Construction Update: One Thousand Museum
Southeast corner from Biscayne Boulevard.
Construction is wrapping up at One Thousand Museum, a residential condo tower in Downtown Miami from the office of the late Zaha Hadid, a Pritzker Prize winning architect of international acclaim. Plaza Construction is leading the realization of the formally unique tower.
East facade.
The 62-story tower joins a more modestly sized residential building nearing completion in New York as the first residential projects from Zaha Hadid in the United States. Hadid's Miami tower is located in Downtown Miami, adjacent to Museum Park and its two new museums, the Perez Art Museum and the recently completed Frost Science Museum.
Southeast corner from Biscayne Boulevard.
After floor 15, Hadid's organic tower structure transitions from the traditional poured-in-place concrete with removable wood form-work to an innovative new solution, GFRC panels. Fabricated in Dubai, the glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels serve as both form-work and outer shell, saving much construction time. One Thousand Museum is the first tower in the U.S. to utilize the panels as permanent form-work and cladding.
Residents entering by car will be received by a valet and doorman at a private porte-cochere accessed at the southern boundary along NE 10th Street. Parking will be available on floors two to seven. An adjacent lobby will offer access to the concierge and high-speed elevators to the residences above. The ground floor will also host a restaurant that stretches along Biscayne Boulevard at the eastern boundary of the site, with views to Museum Park across the street.
Northwest corner.
At the very top of the tower, an Aquatic Center and Sky Lounge will provide residents with an indoor pool and private event space with stunning views to the beach and the city. The roof of the tower has also been designed to accommodate Miami's first private helipad on a residential tower.

Construction Update: Jade Signature
East facade.
Construction has finished at Jade Signature, Fortune International Group's 57-story, 192-unit residential tower in the Sunny Isle Beach neighborhood of Miami. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the tower features a parallelogram footprint that minimizes the skyscraper's shadow footprint on the beach. The orientation also maximizes the sun exposure for the ocean-facing units. The concrete structure provides balconies along the east and west facades that increase floor area in most units by approximately 30 percent. Corner balconies feature the tower's signature sculptural concrete columns, with glass railings that tilt outward to minimize reflection.
