Sarasota Modern

Sarasota in the 1950s was a small community graced with an alluring natural beauty. What set it apart from so many Florida beachfront towns was the concentration of artists, writers, and architects who gathered there - including author MacKinley Kantor and architects Paul Rudolph and Ralph Twitchell- a unique confluence of talented and daring architects coupled with a hip crowd willing to take risks. The results are demonstrated in the stunning homes featured here. The country, Sarasota Modern offers the reader a rare and intimate look into the stunning houses as they were conceived years ago and are lived in today.
