Take a guided tour through the entrancing homes and lush private
gardens of Palm Beach, a subtropical island that has long boasted some
of the most spectacular residences in the country, in this two-volume,
slipcased set
"Few people know [Palm Beach] better than Jennifer Ash Rudick" -Town
& Country
The allure of living in Palm Beach has continued unabated for more than
a century, and no one is a greater authority on the island's residences
than Palm Beach native Jennifer Ash Rudick. Here, in The Palm Beach
Collection, she has selected 50 of the most extraordinary homes--from
restorations of iconic Mediterranean Revival mansions by legendary
architects Addison Mizner, Marion Sims Wyeth, Maurice Fatio, and John
Volk to charming bungalows, sprawling ranches, ultra-modern villas, and
chic apartments. All are exceptionally designed by a who's who of the
interior design world, with names including Peter Marino, the late
Carleton Varney, Tom Scheerer, Mark D. Sikes, Mimi McMakin, Amanda
Lindroth, and Frank de Biasi. The homes' lush settings are as beautiful
as the interiors, with the help of such superb landscape architects as
Jorge Sánchez, Mario Nievera, and Fernando Wong. Rudick also includes
newer Palm Beach homes by important architects including Jeffrey W.
Smith, Thierry Despont, Fairfax & Sammons, Daniel Kahan, and Chris Stone
and David Fox. Illustrated with more than 750 photographs by Palm
Beach-based Jessica Klewicki Glynn and Nick Mele, this two-volume set
offers the most comprehensive survey of Palm Beach homes ever compiled.
