Hello Eric. Welcome to the Wonderland at Icon Brickell.

Earlier this year, I had the privilege to participate and bring my oldest son Luca (13)  to take your child to work day.  This event sparked an interest in my 6 year old son, Eric, who began inquiring about where I work and what I do.

I explained to him that Mommy helped people find homes in Miami and her office was in a really cool building.  I'm sure many of you can already predict his response. WHY? Why is it cool? Does Batman live there? Can I see it?


This past weekend Eric visited Icon Brickell and it was an unforgettable experience for both of us.  One of the great things about being a parent is being able to see through the eyes of your child.  In this case a 6 year old who transported us to the magical wonderland of Icon Brickell and interiors inspired by Phillipe Stark. 



His comments and expressions while staring the immense statutes all lined up at the multi-level entrance almost describe an Indiana Jones movie, "Mommy, it's so dark an shinny at the same time.  Are there Indians there?  Is there a treasure?  Can we look for the treasure?"

"Wow, how do you get to the top of the mailboxes?"

"Are the top one's for Peter Pan and other Superheroes?" 

to which I replied, they most certainly are.  

The top corner belongs to Aladdin. 

I have always found Icon Brickell to be a whimsical place for adults, but never realized what a wonderland it could be for children.  The vivid colors, bold patterns, simple yet, sleek larger than life design, entice children's creativity, playfulness and imagination.

In many regards, I was amazed to find a child's perspective and imagination so refreshing and would believe that many would even think it evokes the very feelings Stark had envisioned for Icon Brickell.  

To be able to see through the eyes of a child and appreciate the magic and sense of wonderment. To know that every last detail was noticed by a child, while with most adults go unnoticed. No questioning, no analyzing.  JUST PURE ENJOYMENT/FUN!
