Florida
THE PLACE
Setting first.
Florida is water, shade and air. Houses here are built around the breeze and the storm season in equal measure: loggias, courtyards and deep roofs carrying as much weight as the rooms.

HOW WE READ FLORIDA
- Water
- Bay, canal, Gulf or ocean: frontage, depth and elevation matter more than square footage.
- Lineage
- Addison Mizner's Mediterranean Revival, Miami Modern, Sarasota School, and a new generation of concrete pavilions.
- Climate
- Hurricane codes, flood elevations and cross-ventilation shape every serious house built since 1992.
- What we look for
- Shade used well, gardens given time to mature, and architecture that stays cool without apology.
