Miami has long been known for its miles of sandy beaches and for the melting pot of Hispanic immigrants who reside in neighborhoods extending inland from Miami Beach. But the third most popular American city after Los Angeles and New York is also famous for its unique contemporary architecture. Miami Houses is a beautifully produced and copiously illustrated tour of residential design by renowned architects such as Ramon Pacheco, Pablo Uribe, Barry Sugarman, Alain Schuhmann, and Santiago Bernal. The dazzling re-designs of houses in the landmark Art Deco District and the distinctive Latin-inspired interior design on view here have succeeded in making innovation the hallmark of Miami style. Includes an introduction and helpful captions.
