A new 500-meter-tall residential tower, set to become the tallest in the world, is planned for Balneário Camboriú and will be named in honor of Brazilian racing legend Ayrton Senna. The tower building will feature a curved facade that sweeps down to form terraces adorned with pools and landscaped areas.
FG Empreendimentos, the developer, claims the tower will set a new record for residential height. Renderings reveal a slender design with the facade extending forward at its base to create expansive terraces. A race track will encircle the podium as part of an “immersive space” dedicated to Ayrton Senna, who tragically passed away at 34 in a racing accident.
“The tower’s architectural form was designed to symbolize this heroic journey of overcoming our ideals and the manifestation of our profound potential,” said Lalalli Senna. “The hero is composed of flesh and bone and thus begins from the material axis. However, they seek qualities that belong to the realm of ideals, such as strength, skill, honor, and truth. The hero embarks on a journey towards what belongs to the celestial domain, striving to reflect these non-material aspects.”
At 500 metres tall, Senna Tower will contain 228 residential units, including 18 “mansions”, 204 apartments, four duplex penthouses, and two “two mega triplex penthouses” spanning 903 square metres.
The design, envisioned by Senna’s niece, artist Lalalli Senna, symbolizes his “heroic journey,” with the horizontal elements representing the “material” and the vertical ones symbolizing the “celestial and ideal.” Illuminated bands will ascend the building’s facade and surround its base while lights at the tower’s crown are shown projecting skyward.
“Eventually, the hero sheds their mortal shell and becomes pure light to complete their journey, symbolized in the crowning of Senna Tower.”
Amenities will be distributed throughout the building over six floors, and a 6,000-square-metre rooftop will also contain “leisure space.”
