“Flamingo” references an upbeat tropical modernism that marries serious European design of the twenties and thirties, with the flamboyant luxury of the great coastal resort cities of Miami, Rio & Honolulu. Flamingo is playfully and frivolously sculpted, like Bauhaus on heat.
One block away from the sea, the holiday apartments range from 25m² studios to 29m² 1-bedroomed corner units, spanning nine storeys on a site no more than 525m² in extent.
The facades are nautical, sculptural and optimistic, with the white plaster skin punctuated with black eyeliner - making a contextual nod to the area’s predominant Streamline Style Moderne environment.
The holiday flats have been solidly occupied since completion. Indeed the beds have not got cold.
