This highrise condominium building in Florida features undulating surfaces, designed to recall the adjacent ocean waves. Conceived by Arquitectonica, the 46-storey Regalia Miami reaches a total height of 488 feet (nearly 150 meters) containing 39 units — one per floor. Two penthouse residences are also included. Gym and fitness facilities are on level 44, with a sun deck topping out the tower above. The scheme is situated in sunny isles, a city located on a barrier island northeast of Miami.
