William Lane Architect reimagines Miami Beach lifeguard towers through bright colours and abstractly anthropomorphic shapes
The 36 newly completed towers encompass six original silhouettes and combinations of six colour palettes. They are placed along a seven-mile stretch, from the southern tip of Miami Beach to the northern edge of 87th Street. With a compact 260 sq ft footprint, they all sit about 2.4m above ground and feature an overhang of around 1.2m that provides much-needed shade for the users. The timber structures are topped by a contoured standing-seam aluminium roof.
