The Pink House is an architectural medley of form, ligh and scale that complements its natural environment.

Geometrically constructed with concrete, stucco and glass brick, the house is built one story above ground on the edge of Biscayne Bay.
Built in 1976 by architects Laurinda Spear and husband Bernardo Fort-Brescia, The Pink House is a symbol of modern design in Miami. Constructed with concrete, stucco and glass, the tall and narrow house is painted in five different hues of pink, reflective of the tropical climate of Southern Florida.

The home was designed to maximize the bay front views, breezes and sunlight, while blurring the lines between the indoors and outdoors with pools, patios and tall windows. The Pink House is a marvel that embodies Miami's rich architectural heritage.

The four-and-a-half foot wide main corridor is reminiscent of a ship's walkway, that also blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The swimming pool is also indoor and outdoor. Built on the second floor, the cascading pool invites a swim on a hot day.
