Zaha Hadid's 'exoskeleton' skyscraper in Miami will have a private helicopter pad and an indoor infinity pool
One Thousand Museum/Zaha Hadid Architects
The Pritzker Prize-winning architect was known for her neofuturistic works, characterized by sweeping curves and geometric forms. Over her four-decade career, she designed many celebrated buildings around the world, some of which are still under construction or in stasis.
One such skyscraper, called the One Thousand Museum, is currently under construction in Miami.
"Miami will mark her first high-rise residential tower in the Western Hemisphere," the building's codeveloper, Kevin Venger, told Business Insider. "Her love of the city - she had a permanent residence here - just makes this a really special project and adds to her worldwide legacy."
Set to be completed in late 2018, the skyscraper will be the epitome of luxury - the most expensive units will sell for $50 million. Some of its standout amenities include an infinity pool, a gym, stunning views of Miami, and the city's first private helicopter pad.
