Coastal 2

Timeless Homes of South Florida is an architectural and visual study of the region’s most distinguished private residences, celebrating homes defined by classical influence, disciplined proportion, and enduring craftsmanship. Featuring a curated collection of new builds, and landmark renovations, the book highlights estates where thoughtful massing, refined materials, and carefully composed forms create a lasting architectural presence. From gracious Old Florida cottages to expansive British West Indies and Palm Beach–inspired residences, each home is presented as a balance of heritage and modern livability. Open floor plans, axial views, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections reflect a lifestyle shaped by climate, light, and landscape, while bespoke detailing and tailored interiors elevate each space. More than a showcase of beautiful houses, this volume offers insight into architectural lineage, design intention, and the art of building with longevity in mind. Timeless Homes of South Florida is a sophisticated reference for design enthusiasts, architects, and collectors alike—an enduring tribute to elevated coastal living and the homes that define it.

As founder of MHK Architecture, Matthew Kragh has been practicing since 1998. He’s proud of the firm’s lasting influence across South Florida and beyond—and most of all, of the exceptional team leading nine offices from Florida to Colorado.
