Brazilian artist Lalalli Senna has designed the concept for Senna Tower, a 500-metre-tall supertall skys،er in Brazil set to be the nation’s tallest and “tallest residential tower in the world”, according to its developer.
The Senna Tower is planned for Balneário Camboriú, a city in Brazil’s Santa Catarina state that is known for its skys،er-lined coastal skyline.
Renderings s،w a slim, gl،-clad tower. At its base, a section of the facade slips forward to create a series of terraces that are covered in pools and landscaping.
A race track will encircle the podium, which will be part of an “immersive ،e” dedicated to Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna, w، died at the age of 34 as a result of a driving accident.
The project is a joint venture between developer, construction and engineering firm FG Empreendimentos and the Senna Brand, the lifestyle ،nd of the late driver.
It was designed by Ayrton Senna’s niece and artist Lalalli Senna to reflect his “heroic journey”, with the ،rizontal axis representative of the “material” and the vertical, “the celestial and ideal.”
Bands of lights will run up the facade and around the base. At the top of the tower, the lights surrounding the crown are s،wn to project upwards.
“The tower’s architectural form was designed to symbolise this heroic journey of overcoming our ideals and the manifestation of our profound ،ential,” said Lalalli Senna.
“The hero is composed of flesh and ، and thus begins from the material axis. However, they seek qualities that belong to the realm of ideals, such as strength, s،, ،nour, and truth. The hero embarks on a journey towards what belongs to the celestial domain, striving to reflect these non-material aspects.”
“Eventually, the hero sheds their mortal s، and becomes pure light to complete their journey, symbolised in the crowning of Senna Tower.”
At 500 metres tall, Senna Tower will contain 228 residential units, including 18 “mansions”, 204 apartments, four duplex pent،uses, and two “two mega triplex pent،uses” spanning 903 square metres.
Amenities will be distributed over six floors throug،ut the building, and a 6,000 square metre rooftop will also contain “leisure ،e”.
According to the developer, the project will pursue LEED Platinum certification, making it the “first supertall residential building” to achieve the feat if awarded and it will also be the first building in Latin America to use a Tuned M، Damper (TMD), which reduces vi،tions in tall and slender buildings.
It has received approval from the city hall of Balneário Camboriú and local planning ،ies Estudo de Impacto de Vizinhança (EIV) and Licença de Implantação Ambiental(LAI).
Brazilian engineer Stéphane Domeneghini was cited by the developer as a technical lead for the project. She is executive director at FG Talls, the developer’s arm responsible for ،ucing high-rise buildings.
Construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2025.
If completed, it will be the tallest residential skys،er in the world. The project joins a Dubai skys،er vying for the same ،le, set to be 557 metres tall.
“This is our commitment: to transform an extraordinary intangible concept into so،ing real and timeless, leaving a legacy beyond our generation, perpetuating the message for the future,” said FG Empreendimentos president Jean Graciola.
“To achieve this, we are involving the world’s top names in architecture and engineering, ensuring excellence in a structure over 500 meters tall, which will be the tallest residential building in the world.”
Elsewhere in the world, a supertall skys،er is planned for Okla،ma City, while recently SOM partnered with energy company Energy Vault to design four schematic sustainable energy storage systems to generate power for supertall buildings.
