Unique Features:

Glass 120 is an 18-story residential tower, and it is situated on the southern tip of Miami Beach, in the South of Fifth Street neighborhood. The building is a response to its site, context, and environment. The tower is designed to dematerialize as it rises, with its exterior almost entirely disappearing into the atmosphere due its compositional use of fritted, patterned glass.

Glass reflects, captures, and abstracts the natural landscape of sand, sea and sky, while retaining the essence of place through its architectural design, its materials, surface textures and tonal color. Ten units with 360-degree views and wide outdoor terraces, the oceanfront high-rise will feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls and aim at integrating the indoors and outdoors to highlight the natural beach surroundings.
