The design of UNA Residences in Miami

Inspired by nautical themes and its seaside setting, Una sets the standard for Brickell Waterfront living, with visionary design, inviting gardens, and unrivaled views across Biscayne Bay. 

Brought to life by renowned firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, Una’s instantly identifiable façade changes character throughout the day, constantly shimmering with reflected light.  With 135 residences spanning 47 floors, Una is just as dramatic up close as it is from afar. The arrival is defined by the sweeping arc of a canopy; the smooth lines of the porte cochère continue into the grand, double-height, open lobby.

The modern curves are complemented by the richly landscaped gardens designed by Enea Landscape Architecture, while inside there are striking views of the water at every turn. Una represents a truly sophisticated combination of location and design in quiet, residential Brickell Waterfront.

From a distance, the iconic 47-story tower is recognizable by its smooth, light-metallic surface and striking silhouette that recalls the natural shape of a wave. This thoughtful cantilevered detail maximizes views in every direction, from the city skyline to the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay.

The outdoor amenities level occupies Una’s entire third-floor terrace. Facing the water, surrounded by shady trees and lush foliage, this is the hub of social activity. Home to a bayfront pool, a lap pool, a family pool, and a children’s play area, with expansive views of Biscayne Bay and Una’s private boat slips, the third floor offers a wide range of recreational opportunities from morning to night. Those who love the sun will be found poolside, while a carefully curated balance of palms and plants offers sheltered spaces for privacy and relaxation. With customized cabanas, grilling areas, and outdoor bars, the terrace is the ideal setting for easygoing entertaining or family time—under the sun or the stars.
