At a time when architects and developers across America seemed to turn their attention to endless miles of egregious suburban sprawl, one small community in northwest Florida set coastal towns abuzz with envy.

The Seaside envisioned by developers Robert and Daryl Davis is a town at one with its landscape, cultures, and regional customs. They drew inspiration from small Southern towns, classical neighborhoods, historical cities, and Mediterranean Sea villages.

Sunlit breezy interiors reveal the charm of individual expression, sophisticated design, and thoughtful details. All of the flavors of Florida, old and new, contemporary and classic, are here in a community that resonates the good life. KAREN BRECHIN
