'''One Thousand Museum''', also known as the '''Scorpion Tower''', is a high-rise residential condominium in Miami, Florida, United States. The building, which is located at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard, across from Museum Park, was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.<ref name="SSCenter">{{cite web|url=http://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/one-thousand-museum-tower/15188|title=One Thousand Museum Tower|publisher=Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat|access-date=April 3, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Hoppe-Spiers |first=Janice |date=March 2017 |title=Building a masterpiece: Plaza Construction ensures one thousand museum stays on track |url=https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A496569741/ITOF?u=wikipedia&sid=bookmark-ITOF&xid=7f2542f8 |magazine=Construction Today |location=Pennsylvania, United States |publisher=General Building Contractors Association |page=88 |issn=1559-2650 |access-date=July 3, 2023 |via=Gale General OneFile (Wikipedia Library)}}</ref> The initial design was started by Zaha Hadid.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/zaha-hadid-architects-chris-lepine-says-luxury-is-about-being-carefree-and-pampered-104717|title=Zaha Hadid Architects' Chris Lepine Says Luxury is About Being 'Carefree and Pampered'|last=Blatter|first=Lucy Cohen|access-date=2018-08-06|language=en-US}}</ref> Completed in 2019, the 62-story building stands at a height of {{convert|707|ft|m}}, making it one of the tallest buildings in Miami.<ref name="SSCenter" />

In early 2018, before the building was finished, an episode of PBS' ''Impossible Builds'' featured the building, which they referred to as the "Scorpion Tower",<ref name="PBS">{{cite web |url = http://www.pbs.org/video/the-scorpion-tower-jsrv5j/ |title = The Scorpion Tower |work = Impossible Builds |publisher = PBS |access-date = February 18, 2018 }}</ref> and described it as "one of the most complex skyscrapers ever to make it off the drawing board."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.archdaily.com/892505/drone-footage-shows-zaha-hadids-one-thousand-museum-tower-nearing-completion|title=Drone Footage Shows Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum Tower Nearing Completion|date=2018-08-08|website=ArchDaily|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-11}}</ref>

== Design == Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, One Thousand Museum was Zaha Hadid's first residential tower in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the final projects designed by Hadid in her lifetime.<ref name=":0" /> It was designed in association with O’Donnell Dannwolf Partners Architects, a local architecture firm.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.archdaily.com/772754/zaha-hadids-one-thousand-museum-begins-construction-in-miami|title=Construction Begins on Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum in Miami|date=2015-09-01|website=ArchDaily|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-11}}</ref>

A notable feature of the building is its curving exoskeleton, which allows the interior space to have fewer columns. The exoskeleton is composed of 5,000 pieces of glass fiber reinforced concrete.<ref name=":0" /> These pieces were shipped from Dubai early in the construction process. The exoskeleton is located in front of a glass facade.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.dezeen.com/2018/02/15/one-thousand-museum-tower-amenity-spaces-zaha-hadid-tops-out-Miami-Florida/|title=Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum tower tops out in Miami|date=2018-02-15|website=Dezeen|language=en|access-date=2019-06-11}}</ref>

The building was topped out in February 2018.<ref name=":1" />

== Facilities == The building contains 84 residences, consisting of a two-story duplex penthouse, 4 townhouses, 10 full-floor residences, and 70 half-floor units.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://www.archdaily.com/tag/one-thousand-museum|title=One Thousand Museum {{!}} Tag {{!}} ArchDaily|website=www.archdaily.com|date=August 8, 2018 |language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-11}}</ref>

A swimming pool is installed at the top of the building, covered by a curving, faceted metal ceiling that reflects the water. The double-height space is occupied by the pool on one side and a seating area on the other. A similar metallic canopy design is used for the bar. A full two-room treatment spa, hair and beauty salon, acai and juice bar, and sunbathing area are also installed, alongside a multimedia tower.<ref name=":2" />
