Casa Florida is an exuberant, full-color celebration of the enduring influence of Spanish architecture and design upon Florida's resorts, private houses, and gardens. Casa Florida explores the earliest influences of the Spanish style in the Sunshine State, its revival in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and its contemporary expression in architecture today. Susan Sully provides colorful history and anecdotes that complement Steven Brooke's full-color photography of the region's signature style in examples representing the entire state and ranging from the charming to the splendid.
