The First Supertall Skyscraper in Miami
Sieger Suarez Architects has collaborated with Carlos Ott to design a new property for hotel brand Waldorf Astoria in Miami, which aims to be the first supertall skyscraper to be completed in the city. The Waldorf Astoria Miami has 100 stories and will top out at 319.7 meters. If finished on schedule in 2026, it will be the first supertall skyscraper completed in Miami, according to the developer.
The structure will be sited in Downtown Miami and consists of nine offset cubes that are intended to emphasize the structure's suspension and height. The concept was to make an iconic sculpture that defied the laws of gravity situating the different blocks in different positions, which in addition created unique views from each space. The facades of each cube will be flat and wrapped in what the architects describe as a "glass skin".
Housed in the structure will be both a five-star hotel as well as private residences, both managed by Hilton Management Services. At the tallest, the suites will be 3.4-metres tall. One-, two-, three- and four-bedroom suites have been worked into the plans. The base of the tower will have a 10-story parking structure while many amenities, including restaurants, will be housed in the upper cubes. Other amenities will include meeting spaces, a residents-only lobby, a resort-style pool and cabana, as well as a full spa and fitness center.
