Gregg Covin and Louis Birdman of developer 1000 Biscayne Tower along with co-developer the Regalia Group are currently building one of Miami's most visually stunning highrises to date. Featuring a sinuous design by the late architect Zaha Hadid, the 83 units inside the 62-storey One Thousand Museum will offer luxurious living areas and coveted views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Hadid's architectural trademarks — curvaceous lines and bright facades — are quickly revealing themselves at the site. As crews complete the structural shape of the large podium, the tower floors have begun their intricate assembly. The curving concrete members comprising the thick exoskeleton that will drape the entire volume are becoming the star attraction of the skyscraper.

Though its basic shell doesn't yet give the appearance of luxury, residents will be treated to interiors that ooze sophistication. Holding duplex townhomes, half-floor residences, full-floor penthouses, and a single duplex penthouse, the tower's east-to-west flow-through floor plans range in size from 4,600 to 9,900 square feet and feature 10- to 20-foot ceiling heights. Oversized terraces are framed by the irregularly shaped exterior columns.

With over 30,000 square feet of recreational and relaxation spaces, the ultra-posh development naturally hosts a wide selection of activities for residents to engage in. A sunbathing deck atop the podium, where the roots of the exoskeleton sprout, houses organically outlined pools. Two full levels of wellness and spa services include a spacious fitness centre, a landscaped outdoor area, multimedia theatre, and private rooms for beauty treatments, plunge pools, and saunas.

Coming to an elegant conclusion, One Thousand Museum's crown accommodates a double-height aquatic centre with yet another pool and sunbathing terrace. A sky lounge provides a venue for social gatherings and private events. All amenity spaces are to be lightly perfumed with fragrant scents. If that weren't enough, the project will boast a private helipad, the first of its kind atop a residential tower in Miami.
