CharlieGlide Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Always loved that location. The interior is extremely cool. I love that long hallway with the windows. Remarkable that it's actually a '70s house as opposed to an '80s house. Yet, it screams '80s! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Flaming0 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I caught this at the bottom of the article: For your information, this ironic location is featured in the game “GTA – Miami Viceâ€! What!?! apparently Emanuel from the Cosmo Team is unaware this house was first featured in the 80's iconic TV show - MIAMI VICE ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pahonu Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Here a couple of interesting facts about the house. The architect mentioned in the article, Laurinda Spear, was a principle at the firm Arquitectonica which was responsible for the design of the Atlantis Condominiums, now iconic because of its use in the opening montage of the show. Bob Vila visited the Pink House in the early/mid 80's for the television show This Old House. Vila would later work with Spear on a kitchen remodel in Miami for his show Home Again. I know the latter is available to be seen on his website, but I don't know about the This Old House segment. I saw it when it originally aired and not since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What!?! apparently Emanuel from the Cosmo Team is unaware this house was first featured in the 80's iconic TV show - MIAMI VICE ! Lol..and not even a mention of Tony Amato. That was an astonishing oversight by the writer who, at face value, seemed to have done some 70s research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is episode 1201 of Home Again. It starts with a tour of Miami. Around 13:49 you can see Laurinda Spear discussing the house remodel: At 12:20 of episode 1202 he tours the Barnacle in Coconut Grove (where Sonny kills Hackman at the end of Deliver Us From Evil): At 7:40 of episode 1203 he tours the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables (seen in Line of Fire and Freefall): At 7:25 of episode 1205 he tours the Ancient Spanish Monastery (seen in Forgive Us Our Debts): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Thanks airtommy, learned some things about the Biltmore. I grew up nearby, worked there as a volunteer when it was a VA hospital, and thought I knew everything about the place. Great tour of the Old Spanish Monastery also (seen in Forgive Us Our Debts).

airtommy Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Pohanu mentions a Bob Vila tour in the Atlantis Condominium here: http://miamiviceonline.com/index.php/topic/9130-tony-amatos-house-on-this-old-house/?hl=vila but he couldnt' find it and neither can I. Here is an excellent Bob Vila tour of Lincoln Road Mall: http://www.bobvila.com/sections/tv-shows/projects/9-miami-beach-condo/episodes/103-condo-feature-installations-and-touring-lincoln-road-miami-beach/videos/1082150286001-touring-lincoln-road-in-miami-beach Edited July 6, 2015 by airtommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was designed that way so that every room has a view of the bay. And it isn't as large as it appears, partly because the pool is enclosed within the walls. It's only 4 bedrooms / 4 baths. Now if we could just find that Bob Vila tour of the Atlantis Condominium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of pictures from the 12th floor and swimming pool area I posted a few months back on “Hit List” and “Viking Bikers from Hell”.

The now gone home at 42 Star Island was also designed as largely one room deep. In the 1920's it was for ventilation in those pre-AC days. The Pink house did so for different reasons as you stated.

pahonu Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Found this out about the Atlantis: Reality took some of the punch out of The Atlantis scheme, too. An oceanfront setback ordinance, passed after the building was planned, required it to be placed farther from the bay, behind this house rather than on top of it. But the house is being saved anyway, turned into a club house for the residents of the condominium and placed in the garden like a gazebo.

That dark red Maserati looked so perfect parked there! One disappointment when you visit the house in person is that there are often some cheapo cars parked there (maids, etc). It just doesn't look "right". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
