Italian architect Renzo Piano has designed an oval-shaped condominium tower that is wrapped in terraces on the waterfront in Miami Beach, Florida. Eighty Seven Park by the architect's firm Renzo Piano Building Workshop is a beachfront building at the northernmost perimeter of Miami Beach in the North Beach district.



It contains 68 units, ranging from approximately 1,400 to 7,000 square feet (130 to 650 square metres). Each has a terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows for expansive views of the nearby parks and the Atlantic Ocean. "The language we wanted to use for Eighty Seven Park is the language of lightness, a sense of a lack of gravity," said Piano. "When I look at how the glass and suspended decks of the building appear to float, and how they catch the sun and the light of the ocean, it's fantastic."



Paris studio Rena Dumas Architecture Interieure (RDAI) has designed the interiors for the residential building with references to the verdant landscape informing the design. The decor ranges from bright, white spaces to moody, dimly lit areas. Furniture in grey and green colours are fused with golden accents and lush plantings. American oak floors were chosen to relate to the colour of aged sea grape leaves, while Miami's white sandy beaches are referenced in Venetian terrazzo.



At the base of the tower are a lobby and outdoor swimming pool, with cabanas and access to a sandy beach. A second swimming pool, a cafe and juice bar, a gym, wine bar and library are among other amenities. There is also a spa outfitted with a Hammam, sauna and steam rooms.
