Palm Beach Style Book
$65.00
Weight: 3.31 lb (1.5 kg)
Dimensions: 10.5 x 10.6 x 1 in (26.8 x 26.9 x 2.5 cm)
John Volk was one of the “big five” architects of Palm Beach.
It was here, during his sixty years of practice, that he was commissioned to design over 2,000 projects, among them the Royal Poinciana Plaza as well as additions and renovations to the Everglades Club.
This book is about the Volks, and the part they played in conjuring the spell with which Palm Beach continues to enchant.
Palm Beach, among other things, is its architecture. Red tile roofs and cast stone columns hint of the Mediterranean.
Evidence of inspirations from Spain and Morocco abound.
After the economic collapse of 1929, the classical architectural orders began to appear on columns and porticos.
The Bermuda style and Mode
ism made an appearance later.
Yet there is no one style exclusively associated Volk; here he perfected many styles, and his architectural legacy can be found on almost every street.
