Zaha Hadid Architects' Miami skyscraper photographed by Hufton + Crow
London photography studio Hufton + Crow has revealed new photographs of downtown Miami's One Thousand Museum tower by Zaha Hadid Architects.
The residential skyscraper, which completed last year, stands on Miami's Biscayne Bay. It is one of the last projects designed by British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, before she died in 2016 in the Florida city.
Nick Hufton and Al Crow, co-founders of Hufton + Crow, captured the 62-storey project from the waterfront, a nearby park, and at its busy street entrance, as well as taking interior shots.
The images show the skyscraper's meandering facade, which is made from 1,000 pieces of lightweight glass-fibre-reinforced concrete.
The reinforced-concrete elements frame numerous windows and terraces, while the building's bulbous base has perforated walls that conceal a parking garage. "Reading from top to bottom as one continuous frame, columns at its base fan out as the tower rises to meet at the corners, forming a rigid tube highly resistant to Miami's demanding wind loads; its curved supports creating hurricane-resistant diagonal bracketing," said Zaha Hadid Architects.
The project, called One Thousand Museum, is 709 feet high (216 metres) and is flanked by other similarly tall buildings.
In total there are eighty-three residences within the condo tower. There are four townhouse-style properties, 70 half-floor apartments, eight duplex penthouses and one penthouse.
An upper level of the skyscraper contains an indoor swimmin...
