1428 Brickell av Architecture
“There are many buildings on Brickell that are striking, geometric, angular, orthogonal. But in this case the inspiration was nature. The forms are fluid as if they are shaped by the wind, and as the building rises to the skies it starts tapering, creating a moment in the skyline that is truly unique.”
Bernardo Fort Brescia

The World’s First Luxury, High-Rise Residential Tower to Integrate Photovoltaic Glazing Within the Building’s Façade
Deftly blended into the building’s architectural aesthetic along each of its 70 floors, this solar energy feature expresses the importance of sustainability and carbon reduction.
Five hundred photovoltaic-integrated windows along the west-facing façade, create a “Solar Backbone” comprising nearly 20,000 square feet of energy-producing glass. With this orientation and permanently installed generating capacity, the system can produce up to 170,000 kilowatts, or 170 megawatts, of clean energy per year. This is intended to result in the reduction of approximately 4,700 tons of CO2 and the use of 3,000 barrels less of oil.
THE LANGUAGE OF MATERIALS
Our dedication to the luxury of refined materiality and the timelessness of craft took us around the globe, collaborating with best-in-class designers, artisans and builders. We then created an environment where every idea was examined, challenged and improved upon in order to achieve unparalleled products of artistic beauty.
These images were commissioned by Ytech to showcase the beauty of the building’s materials while demonstrating our devotion to the highest levels of artisan craft, exquisite materiality and expert design and execution.
