Aranda/Lasch opened its first art deco project Tom Ford Flagship store in Miami Design District, which acutely refers to the historic value of the city. In September, Tom Ford announced the opening of the Miami Tom Ford Flagship Store, located in Aranda\Lasch’s Art Deco Project. The project is a new commercial building in Miami’s Design District and houses four luxury retail tenants. It is the 6th directly operated Tom Ford flagship in the Uited States, after New York, Las Vegas, Beverly Hills, Chicago and Dallas.

The store's location in avanguard architectural building epitomizes the dynamic spirit of the Miami Design District, with its cutting-edge convergence of art, design ans fashion. Aranda/Lasch' s design, the building is notable for its “pleated” surface of geometric, glass fiber reinforced concrete panels and angular, recessed storefronts. In the interior of the building, visitors discover the environment of soft modernism and timeless luxury that is the signature of Tom Ford stores worldwide.

Aranda/Lasch explains the design approach for  Art Deco, is the inspiration for a new commercial building in Miami. Located in Miami’s new Design District, the building houses four luxury retail tenants including Tom Ford.

Miami’s historic architecture is defined by the Art Deco movement from the 1920s to the 1940s where bold geometric motifs shape the city’s landmarks. Inspired by the pleated Art Deco patterns found in architecture and fashion, the facade is given a texture that revives the exuberance and ornament of Miami’s golden era.

The facade is made from molded GFRC panels that fan out above the building’s streetlevel retail, creating angular recessed storefront coffers. Lighting integrated into the panel joints create a scattered pattern of light across the facade. The pattern subtly fluctuates through several programmed sequences.
