Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG), the architectural firm famed for designing Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Tower, poised to be the world’s tallest, has been selected to design the “Una” tower in Miami. The 47-floor building housing 135 condominiums will feature a sculptured facade of “clear modern lines and ribbon-like curves” evoking the iconic Riva yacht, noted ArchDaily.Gordon Gill FAIA, Co-Design Partner, AS+GG , said: “Adhering to our philosophy that form follows performance, we saw the unique opportunity with Una to give the building a little bit of attitude in its design. It stands contrapposto, where one side of the building is holding its full weight and the other side is relaxed, looking at you. I like that attitude, it’s elegant, it’s very comfortable and it’s sophisticated.”AS+GG also contributed towards the building’s interior design, borrowing the interiors palette once again from Riva yacht. Natural leather, stone, wood, and warm colors sit in contrast to the cool tones of stainless steel, noted ArchDaily. Adrian Smith FAIA, Co-Design Partner, AS+GG, said: “We think of architecture and interior design as one seamless movement. Both the exterior and the interior responds to the ideas of luxury living, fun lifestyle, casual environment, and relaxing atmosphere.”“Una” will be coming up along Brickell Avenue, the street which first introduced the concept of high-rise living in Miami in the 1970s. Featuring 135 units in configuration of two to five bedrooms, 10-foot-deep balconies, 11-feet-high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, the residences will be complemented by communal fitness centers, a private marina, three pools, and a spa. http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin
