This house in Seaside, Florida, is an example of how all the details about materials, color, texture, light, shadow and decoration were considered early in the design process. It’s clear that Gary Brewer, a partner at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, wanted to employ the language of high-style classical architecture, such as classical columns and pilasters. But he also wanted to create something light, bright and open for this beach setting, so he included more casual touches, such as the pergola over the upper porch and the rafter tails at the eaves.
What results is a home that is both formal — the result of a certain amount of symmetry and classical detailing — and quite livable and relaxed.
