Condo Description:

The Atlantis 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-precedented, 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 Condominium 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.

Amenities include covered parking, bay and city views, 24 hour security, tennis courts, racket ball, pool and Jacuzzi.
