Set to be the first large-scale development of its kind in the Miami Design District<\/a>, the scheme would see a 12-storey hotel and a 25-storey residential tower built with a central shaded garden created between.<\/p>\n

Both towers feature white terracotta-clad columns, which support covered exterior \u2018galleries\u2019.<\/p>\n

The proposed Miami Design Residences tower in 39th Street would provide 143 flats, while the hotel building would offer 85 luxury rooms.<\/p>\n

The scheme has been drawn up for a development team including Miami real estate and development company Fort Partners<\/a>, equity firm Raycliff Capital, Miami Design District Associates and global investment firm Constellation Hotels Holding.<\/p>\n

Model for David Chipperfield\u2019s planned Miami Design District residential and hotel project: David Chipperfield Architects<\/p>\n

The luxury French hospitality brand Fouquet\u2019s was recently announced as the future hotel operator, with completion scheduled for 2030.<\/p>\n

David Chipperfield Architects said the design of the towers was intended to \u2018reflect and respond to the changing light\u2019 in Miami. The residential tower steps down in height to create a varied elevation, while the hotel features a \u2018grand hotel form\u2019 with stepped corners that \u2018reference Miami\u2019s heritage\u2019.<\/p>\n

The landscaped garden which would run in between the two tower blocks has been designed as a shaded public space featuring native trees, which also serves to \u2018establish a strong spatial relationship with a planned office building\u2019 set for a plot nearby to the hotel. The hotel and the new office building will form a gateway to the Miami Design District.<\/p>\n

The buildings feature a similar internal organisation. A two-storey base contains retail and entrance lobbies and the third floor of each tower provides amenity spaces with landscaped terraces. The middle sections contain flats and hotel rooms respectively, while penthouses occupy the upper floors with swimming pools framed by pergolas featuring on the roof decks.<\/p>\n

David Chipperfield Architects has a significant portfolio of US schemes, including the 32-storey part-hotel, part-apartment tower on Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan, which completed in 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n
