Topped off and nearing completion, one of the finishing touches to Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum in Miami may also be one of its most exciting, the addition of a rooftop helipad to offer visitors spectacular skyline and ocean views. What's more, the aeronautical addition will be the only one of its type to grace a residential tower along the entire Eastern Seabord.

Built with an eye towards whisking residents to and fro either from Miami International Airport or the Florida Keys, the helipad represents a first-rate luxury service, the rooftop amenity perched delicately above the top floor pool deck and lounge.

Once complete, Zaha Hadid's legacy project will be a magnificent fixture upon the Miami skyline, the 62-storey One Thousand Museum to be a welcome addition to the city's world-famous waterfront.
