The Miami Design District announced the arrival of its first new Class A office building, The Ursa. Combining museum-quality art by Daniel Arsham with ten floors of office space, The Ursa will transform the work experience in its unique environment.

The Ursa is being developed by Miami Design District Associates. It is a joint venture between Dacra, L Catterton Real Estate, and Brookfield Properties. The fifteen-story building houses ten floors of office space. There are two retail spaces available on the ground floor and outdoor areas on every level. Included on each floor are a private balcony and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Also, the rooftop features an indoor/outdoor garden deck that all tenants can access.

“The Ursa is an exceptional addition to the Miami Design District. In keeping with our development approach, our emphasis was creating something that truly enhanced the built environment and added to the overall experience of being in this unique community. Bringing a dynamic office building offering to the Miami Design District is an important next step in the neighborhood’s evolution and we are so excited to watch it unfold. We know the District has so much to offer and businesses want to be a part of what we have built here. We cannot wait to welcome them,” said Mathieu Le Bozec, Managing Partner, L Catterton Real Estate.

Arquitectonica designed The Ursa to fit within the artistic neighborhood of the Design District. It features monumental artworks incorporated into the building’s façade. Famed contemporary artist and founder of architecture and design company Snarkitecture, Daniel Arsham, was inspired by Greek and Roman sculptural reliefs when creating these artworks. The Ursa’s interior art and furniture were also created by Arsham.

“Having an almost life-long personal presence and relationship within the Design District it’s an honor to be invited to collaborate with Dacra on The Ursa. The integration of the surrounding tropical landscape with world-class architecture, contemporary art, and design sums up, to me, what is special about Miami and this neighborhood specifically. I expect this building to become a landmark to the city and an important example of how art and architecture can coexist in exciting new ways,” said Daniel Arsham.

Located at 30 NE 39^th street, The Ursa is situated in an ideal location. Tenants will have access to the restaurants, stores, and cultural institutions of the surrounding Miami Design District. Direct accessibility to I-95 is another convenient aspect of the building’s location.

The Ursa is expected to be completed by fall 2024 and is now leasing. For more information visit theursa.com.

When Centaur Interiors was approached for this project in the Millenium Park area of Chicago, the client made it clear that the ideal outdoor area was an absolute must-have.

Located in the Loop community area of Chicago, this residence is a stone's throw away to some of the city's best museums, cultural attractions, restaurants and bars. So while access to breath-taking views would not necessarily be a problem, project manager and Principal at Centaur Interiors Michael Miller and Design Director Jennifer Aubry still had a few challenges ahead. Since this is a landmark building, approvals had to go through the building and the city as well. This translated to many of the custom pieces found throughout the stunning home to be fabricated on-site.

While rooftop terraces are a rarity in Chicago, the opportunity to create one allowed for the Centaur team to utilize core skills related to designing, building and furnishing.

Keeping in mind that the vast majority of the world has been reeling from a global pandemic which kept us all indoors for the past year or more, any and every outdoor spaces were welcomed by client and designer alike.

One of the aforementioned key pieces that had to be fabricated onsite was the floating steel trellis which integrates lighting, heating, water misters, as well as a motorized retractable awning. Which means this would be the ideal terrace to entertain and spend time at, year-round.

The terrace also includes a custom outdoor kitchen which incorporates concealed appliances for entertaining. Multiple flooring materials of wood, tile, and turf flawlessly integrate and also incorporate lighting features. Apart from floors, the planters, walls and trellis all have lighting, which creates a lovely atmosphere throughout the evening. All of these aspects including exterior grade TVs and speakers are harmoniously controlled with smart home technology.

Smart Home Technology allows for the option of entertaining for intimate and larger-scale functions alike. The robust one-touch controls give the client the option to entertain not only in a variety of social settings but throughout various climate conditions as well.

While the rooftop may be something of an oasis, the interior of this home is nothing short of spectacular either.

This year's Met Museum rooftop exhibit––poised in the center of The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden––is not as ostentatious as Jeff Koons' giant balloon dogs from 2008, or Tomas Saraceno's futuristic "Cloud City" structure from 2012, though it boasts a delicate, elegant appeal of its own.

A garden maze-modernist building hybrid, Dan Graham's "Hedge Two-Way Mirror Walkabout" features the artist's signature two-way mirrored glass walls set in curves of steel, snaking through Swiss landscape architect Gunther Vogt's lush ivy hedgegrows.

The combination creates a "visually complex environment" for viewers as it generates awe-inspiring, picturesque reflections of visitors and skyscrapers visible from the Museum's peak.
