Jade Signature, Miami Beach by Herzog & de Meuron
Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron built the Jade Signature tower at an angle on Miami Beach to minimise shadow on the eastern side and increase the amount of direct sun ocean-facing residences receive.
The 57-storey tower, which tapers towards its top, is encased by a white concrete cage that forms terraces for residents to enjoy Florida's sunny climate.
"Seen together, the walls and slabs ? primary elements in the tower's architecture ? create a finely textured expression on the facade," said Herzog & de Meuron. Find out more about Jade Signature ?

Grove at Grand Bay, Miami by BIG
Marking the first condominium project in the United States by Bjarke Ingels' architecture firm, Grove at Grand Bay comprises a pair of glass high-rises with twisted bases.
"Coconut Grove is a special place with a well-defined soul, so it was important that Grove at Grand Bay respond to its community through a design that was respectful and distinctive," Ingels said.
The towers are emphasised by overhanging floor plates that create balconies to offer residents views of the surroundings, including Biscayne Bay. They also shade the floors below from sunlight.
