Palm Beach Splendor: The Architecture Of Jeffrey W. Smith

Description

In the tradition of Addison Mizner, Maurice Fatio, John Volk, and Howard Major-the early architects of Palm Beach?s great estates and public buildings of the Gilded Age-the architecture of Jeffery W. Smith stands resplendent as a testament to the refined elegance of another time, and is as well a promise of the grandeur that the future holds. Hailed by Town & Country as ?the most adept young historicist working in Palm Beach today,? preeminent Palm Beach architect Jeffery Smith is a paragon of exquisite design sense, as is clearly evident in the houses featured here. Smith?s work-a continuation of the classical Mediterranean style characteristic of the town that has come to be known as the ?American Riviera?-is showcased in Palm Beach Splendor in seventeen of his most recent projects, in magnificent full-color photographs featuring interiors by such well-known designers as Peter Marino and David Easton.
