The Pink House in Miami, Florida is a marvel of Modernist and Art Deco architecture. It was built between 1976 and 1979 by a husband-wife architect team. The house stands out for its stunning rosy-pink hue against the tropical blue sky and its precise geometric symmetry. It now represents retro Miami glamour and decadence.
“The Pink House embodied a certain moment and mood: European rationalism cross-fertilized with the tropical surrealism of Miami. Everything about the place—the color, the pool, the translucency—seemed to exude a simmering, barely sublimated sexuality.
It also represented a crucial turning point for the city at large. Suddenly Miami appeared to have a culture that went beyond retirement plans and palm trees, a culture that was edgy and slightly dangerous, with fast cars, cocaine cowboys, cigarette boats and outrageous architecture.“ - (x)
