What is Tropical Modern?
These buildings are designed to be a natural defense against the harsh elements of the tropics and subtropics, while maximizing the advantage of living in a warm and sunny environment.
Symmetry is not a priority in Tropical Modern design. Instead, every building component, i.e. walls, doors and windows, can be purposefully located. The result is a fluidity of space and light flowing in, out and around. This is demonstrated in five of the hallmark features of Tropical Modern architecture:
1. Light - Water, exterior courtyards, open floor plans, white surfaces reflecting the sun and shade are consistent elements of Tropical Modern.
2. Shade - Creating protective shade is paramount. Deep porches, extra-wide eaves, verandas, covered walks, lanais and canopies are incorporated to offset the heat. Shelter from the sun also means shelter from summer rains.
3. Ventilation & Views - Encouraging cross-breezes is a critical component of the design. Strategically located windows and large sliding doors facilitate ventilation while providing transparency, views and daylight.
4. Seamless Space - Living areas extend outside onto porches, gardens and breezeways, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor space.
5. Simple & Natural - Tropical Modern differs from the traditional by incorporating simple clean lines. And unadorned details are made richer — inside and out — by combining sensuous local materials with metal, stucco, glass and dark woods.
