AN EXCERPT FROM THE PUBLISHER'S INTRODUCTION.
Over the years, styles have evolved. trends have come and gone and come again. As a curator, a gallerist of sorts, my view continues to change. I see things differently. I look for subtle beauty, for nuance, for imperfections, but mostly, for authenticity. Unlike the fleeting buzz of social media, books are patient. They stay with us. They chronicle where we have been and invite discussion on where we might choose to go.
It is my great privilege to introduce you to and re-acquaint you with some of the most extraordinary minds of architecture. Within the pages of this book, I hope to awaken a new perspective, a new view, on structure, on function, on beauty, on home.
Exhibiting not only stunning photographs of residential architecture, these pages render life imagined and lived; spaces dreamt and inhabited — of love and celebration, reflection and growth.
Exquisite representations of their discipline, the twenty private residences featured, visions of architectural brilliance and realities of innovative design, have just one thing in common among otherwise unique perspective: their foundations share the widely varied breadth of Florida's topography.
The Florida peninsula boasts some of the world's most amazing beaches, with shores meeting the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico; renowned farms of equestrian nobility; majestic towns lined with century-old, moss-covered Oaks and rich history; highly cultured cities, monuments of coveted art, desired lifestyles, and beloved music.
Step inside this breathtaking visual gallery of marvelously executed private residences. Walk through their sunlit halls. Cozy up in their thoughtfully configured living spaces and take in their magnificent views. Experience the artistry of these architects through your own lens. Come back to it again and again, as it will always be there, and each time, I hope you, too, enjoy a New View.
