BUILDING TYPE

ARCHITECT

The Atlantis is a 96-unit condominium apartment building on Biscayne Bay south of downtown Miami. This building, more than any other, called attention to the provocative, photographic nature of Arquitectonica’s work. The Atlantis is a 20-story slab building with a 37-foot long cube cut out of the center to create a “sky court” for building residents. The sky court has three elements: a whirlpool, a red spiral staircase, and a palm tree, all set along the waving yellow wall.

The long slender building has just six apartments per floor and two elevator cores. At the bay end, the building curves to create a living room with a 180-degree panoramic view. The apartments at the base are two-story duplexes with double-high living rooms and private courtyards.

When the Atlantis won the Progressive Architecture award in 1980, Frank Gehry praised it for its sculptural quality and surrealistic imagery. This building also won the AIA Test of Time Award in both the 10 year and 25 year categories.

Brickell is a dense, high-rise residential neighborhood with many upscale, luxury condominium and apartment towers.

The missing cube from the building has been set askew on the terrace to one side of the building and serves as a health club. A huge blue grid, framing three-story high squares is attached to the south side of the building providing sun control and creating a zone of balconies. Other attached geometric elements include an entrance canopy supported on four red columns, several cantilevered yellow balconies on the north facade, and the red triangular prism on the roof that hides the HVAC equipment. Part of the house that formerly occupied the site has been adapted as a clubhouse connecting the upper terrace to a lower pool terrace along the waterfront. The building entrance further develops the surrealist theme and is equipped with four round columns; one large decorated round column, a white marble triangular column, and a white marble fountain. As the last in the series, of Biscayne apartments, Atlantis demonstrates the steady evolution of Arquitectonica themes for the organization and architectural detailing of the speculative luxury condo slab building type in a unique waterfront location. .

The building is known for its glass facade and primary color scheme and the 5-story palm court which is cut out of the building. The palm court features a red spiral staircase, a Jacuzzi, and a palm tree. The Atlantis's claim to fame was when it was featured on the opening credits of the television series “Miami Vice”, where it was featured as a set.

The stock in trade for most residential buildings of this market at this time, the double-loaded, glass curtain wall slab, has been transformed both formally and environmentally using the inventive application of balconies, large-scaled, layered brise soleil and other sun control devices, the use of bold colors, and the design of terraces and roof gardens.DETAILS
