Sunbird Towers Condominiums, Panama City, 1987


This brochure for the Sunbird Towers Condominiums in Panama City from 1987, makes a lot of use of white space, long before it was a hip design trend. I think Sunbird's choice may have less to do with design esthetics, and more to do with not having much to say. After all, once you've made it clear that you offer cable TV and HBO, haven't you said it all?


The pictures also tend to indicate the rooms are more crowded than the beach. And what a cold and un-inviting beach it seems to be. They must have done something right, because The Sunbird Towers still exist today, and it's interesting to see how the surrounding area has changed.

Any current/former Sunbird residents out there?
