Alex Penna, the Senior Designer of Rex Nichols Architects, is happy to lead RNA to this new arena. His exquisite architectural design as exhibited by the Contemporary Glass House, Open To The Trees, Cormicle House, Dubai Towers, and soon Ocean Terrace Townhouses are good examples of the best Miami architecture and luxury homes. RNA sees a well-defined boundary separating mid-century architecture from what the future of architecture is expecting from us. The award-winning visionaries’ architects Rex Nichols Architects, a top Miami architectural firm which has been awarded consecutively four years from 2015 to 2018, is proud to be selected from the three top Florida architects for the finals of a paid competition by Emaar Properties for a 10-tower development in Dubai. “We were approached by the senior manager for Dubai Creek Harbor to design luxury condominiums, based on the contemporary design created by our Senior Designer and design Partner Alex Penna displayed on our website,” said architect Rex Nichols, the principal of RNA, in a prepared statement.  See more at article:  https://therealdeal.com/miami/2018/05/20/fort-lauderdale-architecture-firm-picked-for-10-tower-project-in-dubai.
