Miami, Florida, USA

Located in the fast-growing Edgewater neighborhood of Miami, Missoni Baia is a 649-foot-tall tower, located directly on Biscayne Bay, consists of 146 expansive residences, each with waterfront views.

The tower will be yet another glimmering addition to the Miami skyline.

Designed by Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture of the firm Asymptote Architecture, the sculptural tower with an innovative, streamlined, high-performance structure, as evidenced by the aerodynamic super-columns that render the glass façades almost entirely mullion-free.

The fin-like corner columns echo the sails and sleek hulls of super-yachts—a fitting metaphor, given the building’s prominent waterfront setting.

Landscaping of tropical plantings and reflecting pools, designed by renowned Swiss landscape architect Enzo Enea, weaves together the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The Missoni fashion house, directed by its Creative Director Angela Missoni, is incorporating its trademark design palette and its home furniture collection into the tower’s interior public spaces.

The building incorporates Missoni’s trademark colorful design palette and Missoni Home furniture
collection in inventive ways, including in all public spaces and amenities.

It is Missoni’s first branded residential tower.

Rashid said: “Miami is today a globally significant city, and its new architecture needs to reflect and celebrate this coming of age. The architecture for Missoni Baia takes its inspiration from equally beautiful and pristine sculptural works by the great American minimalist sculptors such as Sol Lewitt and Donald Judd, coupled with the mathematical poetry of the great Venezuelan artist Jesus Soto.”

“These artists celebrated purity, musicality and the eloquence of perfect form, and from that DNA this tower was conceived as a nod to an elegant and new Miami.”

“As we accelerate towards completion later next year, Missoni Baia will be a retreat in the center of
one of Miami’s most up-and-coming districts,” said OKO Group chief executive Vladislav Doronin.

“Miami is a dynamic gateway city and Missoni Baia represents the kind of luxury product that we strongly believe will continue to draw domestic and international interest,” said Jonathan Goldstein, CEO of Cain International.
