The first building in the Americas designed by Pritzker Prize-winning master architect Eduardo Souta de Moura.
Sumaida + Khurana has commissioned world renowned, Pritzker Prize-winning Portuguese architect Eduardo Souta de Moura, to design 1100 Fifth Street, a Class A+ office building in the South of Fifth neighborhood of Miami Beach that will be Souta de Moura’s first building in the Americas.
The project will enhance the modern office experience with a design that emphasizes poetic architectural forms through simplicity, beauty, and exquisite detailing. These hallmark qualities, for which Eduardo Souta de Moura is renowned, will be showcased throughout the building. The design utilizes authentic and genuine concrete, glass, and pink coral stone materials. The building’s concrete slabs and fins will gradually reduce in size on each floor, culminating in a knife-edge slab at the roof. Reveals between all fins and concrete slabs will articulate walls and ceilings as floating volumes, creating a sense of lightness more felt than seen—a nod to the tactile architecture of Eduardo Souta de Moura. A unique lighting installation will offer visitors a sublime experience upon entering the porte-cochère.
The building will be uniquely amenitized with a monumental lobby wrapped in pink coral stone, 14-foot ceilings throughout office floors, open and flexible floorplans, floor-to-ceiling windows and every office includes expansive private outdoor terraces. In addition, the building will feature multiple amenities for tenants to share including a private landscaped rooftop with expansive, unobstructed water views. This offering will be further complemented by a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, multiple food and beverage options, and valet parking. The building will also offer advanced air quality and filtration systems that will be part of the focus on sustainability and health.
