However, he is as well known for the stunning work he has created on building exteriors, especially during the 1980s.

In 1983 after the developer Nicholas Morley couldn't decide on a color for his apartment complex in Miami, Yaacov Agam was deputed to make the 36-floor Villa Regina Building in Florida a bright, "happy," and cute attraction.

In 1984, Agam began work designing the outside of Villa Regina. When completed, this work created nifty marketplace fizz and was titled " The Miami Agam at Villa Regina." The painted facade of the building covered an area of 300,000 square feet and was referred to equally the "largest painting in the earth". The building'due south angles and recessed surfaces created by the balconies lent themselves to create the kinetic effect so popular in Agam's works. More a landscape on a edifice, the construction itself became a work of art, constantly irresolute depending on the fourth dimension of twenty-four hours and the viewpoint.

This hotel eventually became known as "The Mondrian," in homage to the bang-up Dutch painter.

In 1984 Agam was commissioned to do the outside facade. This commission, entitled "Homage a Mondrian," addressed the outside of the edifice, which was painted in Agam's feature vibrant multi-colored designs. The outside work required 490 gallons of pigment and 54 colors, taking a drab, boring appearance to i which drew bully praise. After winning admiration for the exterior, Agam also created a fantastic edition of serigraphs on mirror that were hung in each of the hotel rooms, titled "Homage a Mondrian."
