From Palm Beach to Shangri La: The Architecture of Marion Sims Wyeth

Homes, pool houses, and gardens in paradise by the great architect Marion Sims Wyeth — progenitor of the fabled Palm Beach style and designer of Doris Duke’s legendary Hawaiian retreat, Shangri La — are featured by historian and preservationist Jane Day in the first in-depth book to consider Wyeth’s most alluring creations. Beauty and elegance mingle with extravagance in a home design that takes the standard fixtures of paradise and mixes them with a dash of the exotic.
