Miami is known for its vibrant culture, energetic nightlife, and steamy beaches. So its no surprise that accomodations in the city should match. Enter the Icon Brickell, a community living space, or what the yoo Inspired by Starck design team calls "vertical village," that prizes unique design and plush living areas for its residents. With 1,885 apartments situated in the two towers near the beach, the luxurious space offers plenty of amenities, such as a billards room, library, spa, swimming pool, and oversized outdoor lounge areas.
Here, the towers of Icon Brickell, Miami overlook the water at this yoo Inspired by Starck project.

Photomontage and vibrant colors enrich the journey through the communal spaces of Icon Brickell; large-scale photographic and pictorial elements are often employed to dramatic and surreal effect in yoo Inspired by Starck projects.
