The
Atlantis condo was built between
1980-1982 and designed by the
architectural firm
Arquitectonica. The buildings
lead designers Spear and
Fort-Brescia, rejected some
themes of the day, especially
the historical eclecticism of
postmodernism. Like the
modernists, they preferred
un-precedent, innovative
structure, shocking viewers with
bright primary colors, mirrors,
and abstract geometric shapes
with no references to the past.
Their style has been called
flashy and fantasy like. The
prominent architect Philip
Johnson described the firm as
“the gutsiest team in the
business.”

The
Atlantis Condo on Brickell
Avenue gained its fame as one of
Miami’s iconic architectural
gems in part due to its weekly
appearance on the opening
credits of the popular
television show Miami Vice. The
Atlantis Condo on Brickell is an
arresting sight, with a
thirty-seven-foot hole cut out
of the middle of the mirrored
rectangular building. The
cut-out box frames a bright red
spiral staircase, yellow walls,
and a huge palm tree. Each side
of the building is different,
but both sides balance visually
with a red triangular roof on
one side and yellow triangular
balconies on the opposite side.
The building holds ninety
apartments and six duplexes on
twenty floors. Four of the
floors open to the cut-out
space, which contains a
whirl-pool, a hot tub, and a
fabulous view. When built, the
bold, fun building set a new
style for the Miami skyline.
