Pritzker Prize winning architecture firm OMA, led by Rem Koolhaas, is watching their latest masterpiece take shape in Miami, and new photos show how the project's unique curvilinear expression is coming together. The Park Grove development is informed by the tropical palm trees scattered across the Miami cityscape, and project lead Shohei Shingematsu cements this theme by weaving greenery throughout the three towers.

A collaboration between developers Terra and The Related Group, Park Grove's architectural vocabulary of faceted columns and glass ensures a steady stream of natural daylight penetrates through to the interiors. A series of expansive balconies allow residents to fully enjoy sweeping views of Biscayne Bay, while the asymmetrical cylindrical geometry facilitates a diversity of floor plans. Roughly one million square feet of living is spread across the three towers and the five-acre site they sit on. On the ground, an undulating plinth forms what OMA calls "ampitheatre-style entrances."

The interior design language envisioned by Meyer Davis is accented with a sculpture crafted by Barcelona-born artist Jaume Plensa. Additional artwork by Michele Oka Doner dons the airy interiors, which are packed with 50,000 square feet of amenity space. Residents will have access to a 28-seat private screening room, wine tasting rooms, and an outdoor deck with poolside cabanas. A restaurant concept by James Beard-winning Chef Michael Schwartz puts luxe delicacies within arm's reach.

New photos captured from and above the site show the state of construction so far, with the first two towers topped out and approaching exterior finishing. Bjarke Ingels' Grove at Grand Bay, another residential complex with an unconventional building profile, can be seen in the background of the image above. The two international heavyweights of modern architecture have imparted their sought-after creativity to the Coconut Grove neighbourhood, significantly raising Miami's high-design portfolio.
