Palm Beach interiors have long reflected the travels, penchants, and
whimsies of the town’s worldly inhabitants. Today, residents of this
tiny barrier island call upon world-class designers to create homes that
are testaments to what can be achieved when inspired by the natural
beauty of a unique locale and when imagination is one’s only limitation.
In
Palm Beach Chic,
Jennifer Ash Rudick leads the tour of newly restored Mediterranean
Revival houses by Mizner, Fatio, and Volk, charming cottages, Moorish
casbahs, and vintage condos. Lush photographs capture extraordinary
gardens, verandas, lakeside pavilions, a rustic ranch, and simple pastel
houses sheltered by dense thickets of Norfolk pines and age-old
banyans. It is this eclectic mix of old and new, of Spanish and
Caribbean, of contemporary design and sun-faded WASP thrift, that makes
Palm Beach chic.
