Miami is an original, a city that celebrates its good looks, flaunts its vices, and exhibits its wealth of sensual pleasures. This survey of Miami's diverse designs for homes and gardens shows the rest of America how to take the heat with an up-to-the-minute, sizzling lifestyle. With more than 400 full-color photographs, Miami: Hot & Cool perfectly captures the essence of staying cool in the Miami sun--or shade.

A Cool Book For A Hot Place

I purchased this book when in graduate school in Chicago, Ill. Along with Caribbean Style, which is by another publisher and still in print, this book offers beautiful color photos of the real Miami "style". If you are looking for the tropical look this book is an excellent reference as well as the variety of architectural styles prevelant in Miami. It is also a nice reminder of the residential lifestyle of Miami not often seen by the tourist. Along with Caribbean Style, this book ranks high on my list as a book I keep pulling off my book shelf.
