Renzo Piano completes Eighty Seven Park on Miami beachfront
Italian architect Renzo Piano has designed an oval-shaped condominium tower that is wrapped in terraces on the waterfront in Miami Beach, Florida.
Eighty Seven Park by the architect's firm Renzo Piano Building Workshop is a beachfront building at the northernmost perimeter of Miami Beach in the North Beach district.
It is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean, as well as a 35-acre (14-hectare) public park to the south and a two-acre (0.8-hectare) garden to the north only for residents.
The project features an 18-storey oval construction elevated on white pillars.
It contains 68 units, ranging from approximately 1,400 to 7,000 square feet (130 to 650 square metres). Each has a terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows for expansive views of the nearby parks and the Atlantic Ocean. "The language we wanted to use for Eighty Seven Park is the language of lightness, a sense of a lack of gravity," said Piano.
"When I look at how the glass and suspended decks of the building appear to float, and how they catch the sun and the light of the ocean, it's fantastic."

"Craftsmanship is one of the essential qualities of architecture and we went back to this tradition to bring this building to life," the Pritzker-prize winning architect added.
"The quality of architecture is about poetry and beauty but it's also about detail and perfection."
