This beautiful publication presents a collection of luxurious villas designed by Geoff Chick & Associates in the tradition of timber-framed vernacular style of Florida’s nineteenth- and twentieth-century architecture. From minimalist retreats poised on the edge of the surf to sprawling family homes nestled among pine forests, these residences are a poetic reinterpretation of the Gulf Coast’s vernacular through a contemporary architectural lens.
Presented as a large-format hardback book, Coastal Villas: Luxury Living on the Gulf Coast is a celebration of architecture tailored to the Gulf Coast’s complex interplay of delicate ecosystems, relentless sun, and occasional hurricanes. Large windows invite coastal breezes and abundant natural light, while shaded courtyards and covered terraces create comfortable outdoor living areas. Porches, tall ceilings, bracketed overhangs, and raised pier footings draw inspiration from vernacular architecture, and timeless interiors fuse artistry and function.
Exploring the harmony of form, function, and nature on the Gulf Coast, this aspirational publication will inspire a deep appreciation for architecture that celebrates the spirit of a place.
Award-winning architect Geoff Chick has dedicated over two decades to designing homes that are deeply connected to their environment and inherently personal. He founded Geoff Chick & Associates with the vision of creating homes that authentically reflect the lives, landscapes, and stories of their inhabitants. His practice thrives on close client collaboration and is guided by a profound appreciation for craftsmanship and the unique characteristics of each location. Each of Geoff's projects exemplifies a timeless fusion of artistry and function, offering both poetic vision and pragmatic solutions. Living and working in Florida, Geoff draws inspiration from the natural beauty and rhythm of the Gulf Coast, and the distinctive architectural traditions of the Florida Panhandle.
