Glass

WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, "WHY IS IT CALLED GLASS"?

Ok. So simply put, Glass is an 18-story residential tower, and it is situated on the southern tip of Miami Beach in the South of Fifth 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 to 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.

So not so much simple, as extremely elegant.
