ODA reveals duo design for residential tower in Fort Lauderdale, USA
New York-based architectural studio ODA has unveiled the design of Obbelle, a duo of residential towers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The two 43-story building accommodates 1,100 rental units complete with amenities and retail space. Urban Plaza at the foot of the building connects the development to the adjacent area and the Flanger Village. The Ombelle Complex is ODA’s second major housing project in Fort Lauderdale. The first, the Kushner Tower, is in the same district.

The shape of the two towers separates from each other as they rise, optimizing the view of the apartment and access to natural light. The outer shell of the terrace, which varies in depth, length and arrangement, creates vibrations in the façade. Staggered outdoor balconies and gardens define the image of the tower and give each apartment a specific visual identity.
Double-height colonnades surround the building and connect it to the city square. This makes the transition between outdoor and indoor spaces more enjoyable. In response to a lively neighborhood, the ground floor has 11,00 square feet of commercial space for retail stores and restaurants with access to an outdoor seating area.
