Miami Building Turns Hurricane-Resistant Design Requirements Into Its Defining Feature
Reported byMy Modern Met ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Snøhetta's Sweetbird North, an eight-story mixed-use building in Miami's Design District, integrates hurricane-resistant design—custom stainless-steel mesh facade, impact-rated glazing, reinforced systems—as a sculptural architectural feature rather than hidden infrastructure, while adding 120,000 sq ft of office space, 22,500 sq ft of retail, and vertical gardens on each floor.
The building has been unveiled and is under development; completion timeline not stated in the text.
