Miami Beach, US
Scheduled completion: 2018
Status: under construction
This 62-storey, 83-unit, luxury condominium tower is located on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. The concrete exoskeleton forms a web of flowing lines with columnar lines near the base that splay out to meet at the corners, forming a rigid tube highly resistant to Miami’s demanding wind loads.

Beijing New Airport Terminal Building
Daxing, Beijing, China
Scheduled completion: 2019
Status: under construction
Beijing’s new international airport is set to accommodate 72 million passengers per year by 2025, with the possibility for further expansion to accommodate 100 million passengers and four million tonnes of cargo annually. ZHA prioritised the users of the building across the design that is based around a six pier radial plan for convenience and easy expansion. The terminal is compact, minimising distances between check-in, gates and transfers.

Based on principles of traditional Chinese architecture, the airport layout features interconnecting spaces organised around a central courtyard – a multi-layered meeting space at the heart of the airport. Flowing parabolic folds within the terminal’s vaulted roof reach to the ground to support the structure and bring natural light within, directing all passengers towards the central courtyard.
King Abdullah Financial District Metro Station
Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Scheduled completion: 2019
The King Abdullah Financial District Metro Station will be a key interchange on the Riyadh Metro network for Line 1 and as a terminus for the airport on Line 4 and Line 6. The metro station features six platforms over four public floors, with two levels of underground car parking. Through the design, ZHA emphasised the building's importance as a functional public space contributing to the city, not only as an intermediate place for travelling through.

Scheduled completion: 2019
The station is connected by a series of pathways, skybridges and metro lines envisaged by the metro station master plan. Traffic was mapped across the site clearly to delineate direct pedestrian routes avoiding congestion. The resulting configuration was a three-dimensional lattice defined by a sequence of opposing sine-waves. The façade patterning reduces solar gain while its geometric perforations contextualise the station within its cultural environment.
Leeza SOHO
Beijing, China
Scheduled completion: 2019
Status: under construction
An anchor for the Lize Financial Business District, a new business, residential and transport hub in Beijing, the Leeza Soho is located directly above a new interchange station, also currently under construction. The tower rises as a single volume, yet at its base it straddles the new subway tunnel that diagonally divides its site. The building will contanig the ‘world's tallest’ central atrium that extends 190m through the full height of the building, following the building's design as it twists 45 degrees. The new atrium is destined to be a new public space for the city.

The building which holds office and retail space is a collaboration between Zaha Hadid Architects and Soho China. It will have an outdoor, public piazza surrounding it, the shape echoing the shape of the tower. The twist of the building allows natural light and multiple viewing points of Beijing from all floors. Sky bridges across the structural rings and a double insulated glass façade unites the two parts of the tower together.

Dubai, UAE
Scheduled completion: 2019
Status: under construction
Located near the Burj Khalifa, The Opus comprises two separate towers that coalesce into a singular tower and take on the form of a cube.
