Contenido Tropical Chic Palm Beach At Home

Palm Beach Interiors have long reflected the penchants,whimsies,and travels of the town´s worldly inhabitants.But as real estate on this tiny  barrier island becomes increasingly prized,residents are calling upon world-class interior designers,architects,and landscape designers such as David Easton, David Kleinberg,Lillian Fernandez,Thierry Despont,Peter Marino,Calvin Tsao,Jeff Smith,and Mario Nievera to help fine-tune their visions,giving rise to afresh tropical design vernacular Jennifer Ash Rudick,a long-time Palm Beach resident,leads an insider´s tour of twenty-five remarkable residences,including newly restored Mediterranean Revival fantasies by
legendary Palm Beach architects Addison Mizner,Maurice Fatio,and Marion  Sims Wyeth,cozy cottages nestled amid tropical tropical foliage,and exotic Moorish casbah,postmodern villas,homes that are ideal setting for extraordinary colections of cutting-edge art, a sprawling ranch, and Mad Men-era vintage condos. In some four hundred color photographs, the Palm Beach-based Jessica Klewicki Glynn captures not only the spectacular interiors of these homes but also their extraordinary gardens and pools,terraces and loggias,interior
courtyards and lakeside pavilions
As the author observes in the introduction These homes and their magnificent gardens aren´t slavish copies of interior design magazines or decorator´s dictates but testaments to
what can be achieved when inspired by the natural beauty of a unique locale and when imagination of the owners of these houses,ranging from Broadway producer Terry Allen Kramer to fashion designers Josie Natori and Lisa Perry,ar patron Beth Rudin DeWoody,interior designers Lars Bolander,Pauline Pitt,and Meg Braff,landscape architect Jorge Sánchez, and
entrepreneurs Leonard Lauder and Laura and Harry Slatkin,truly known no bounds.Tropical Chic captures the mythic setting of this American paradise,floating serenely between the
banyans and mangroves of Lake Worth and the ever changing current of the Gulf Stream
