Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product 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-colour photographs featuring interiors by such well-known designers as Peter Marino and David Easton.

This is one of the few books that could be judge by its cover and title. The pictures are excellent and the properties selected are some of the best mansions in FL. I enjoy the many details that are exposed with blueprints and sketches subsequent to their actual pictures. The books include seven of my favorite's houses in FL, an apartment in NYC and other selected properties. If you are looking for a book full of splendor this is the one.

Wow, what a book! These estates are just incredible, the images are vivid and very first rate and the text is very interesting and easy to navigate. Jeffrey Smith really knows how to design grand homes, his houses though mammoth, really fit Palm Beach, I mean one expects grand mansions in this Vallhalla of the truly rich, but Jeffrey Smith's homes are tastful, they are huge, but they fit their environment and are respectful to the neighborhoods in which they reside. Very nice book on a most deserving subject.
