Spa, sky lounge and helipad for ZHA's Miami residential tower
New photos have been released of Zaha Hadid Architects' recently completed One Thousand Museum residential tower in Miami, which boasts 30,000sq ft (2,800sq m) of amenities and a helipad.
The faintly curved tower rises 709ft (216m) and 62 storeys, with an exoskeleton that holds a glazed façade and expansive terraces in place.
“The design expresses a fluidity that is both structural and architectural,” said Chris Lepine, project director at Zaha Hadid Architects. “The structure gets thicker and thinner as required, bringing a continuity between the architecture and engineering.”
Housed within are 4 townhouse units, 70 half-floor units, 8 full-floor units and a penthouse, all accessed via high-speed elevators with destination-entry smart technology.
Among the amenities available to residents are a fitness centre with strength and cardio training equipment, spaces for movement training and stretching and a landscaped outdoor area for other fitness activities.
A double-height aquatics centre features an infinity pool and there's a spa with rooms for massage and beauty treatments, steam and sauna rooms, plunge pools and a relaxation lounge.
There's also a sky lounge with views of the surrounding areas that provides space for relaxing and hosting events, a private dining room and a multimedia theatre.
What is claimed to be Miami’s first private helipad on a residential tower has been included to allow guests to come and go securely and to provide them with easy access to "nearby islands, private and commercial airports, and private yachts".
