Characteristics of Palm Beach Architecture
Key to the growth of Palm Beach in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is Henry Flagler, who built The Royal Poinciana Hotel and The Breakers to accommodate wealthy tourists who would then frequent the area. The Breakers was constructed in the Renaissance Revival styles, specifically a mixture of the Mission Revival and Mediterranean Revival styles. The Mediterranean Revival is a combination of various styles including Beaux-Arts, Spanish Renaissance, Italian Renaissance and Spanish Colonial styles.
In Palm Beach homes, the Mission Revival can be seen in the use of low sloping roofs, often with the underneath beams exposed. The common Stucco exterior and simplicity of most of the designs is due to the influence of the Spanish Renaissance and Spanish Colonial styles, while the use of arches and symmetry is due to the influence of the Beaux-Arts design.

Lighting Architecture
Palm Beach County
Lighting is a vital component of any architectural style and should be handled by an experienced designer. In Palm Beach, the dominant Italian-renaissance calls antique lighting if possible, but without the overly dramatic vaulted ceilings that were associated with the Gothic style.
Palm Beach homes and buildings will often feature light fixtures such as golden Baccarat grand chandeliers to give them that antiquity classic feel.
