Palm Beach Splendor: The Architecture of Jeffery W. Smith

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.
