Description

Architecture on Florida’s Key West reflects the diverse and colorful nature of people who have shaped this remote island’s character: the grand classical homes of sea captains from New England, the cobbled-together wooden dwellings of ships’ carpenters, the standard but charming cottages of cigar makers from Cuba. These days’s equally varied population of artists, writers, and political figures contributes to that heritage by designing interiors and landscape that complement the colourful tropical location, quirky isolationist tradition, and relaxed atmosphere.

In Key West: A Tropical Lifestyle, creator Leslie Linsley presents the real character of this unique American place in twenty-two residences. Engaging anecdotes drawn from interview with homeowners, designers, and architects and lush, full-color photographs reveal the historic and latest interiors and gardens. Reflecting the manner and personalities in their owners, these house concurrently respect and extend a distinctive legacy.
