Art Deco architecture, with its sleek lines, geometric patterns, and timeless elegance, has left an indelible mark on the skylines of many iconic cities around the world. In this blog post, we explore the unique expressions of Art Deco in two vibrant cities – New York and Miami.

Art Deco in New York

The bustling streets of New York City tell a tale of architectural evolution, and Art Deco stands out as a prominent chapter in this narrative. The cityscape is adorned with structures like the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, both iconic examples of Art Deco design. The use of ornate detailing, sleek metalwork, and bold color palettes characterize these structures, capturing the spirit of the 1920s and 1930s.

Art Deco enthusiasts can explore the historic Rockefeller Center, a masterpiece that seamlessly blends Art Deco with Modernist influences. The Radio City Music Hall, another gem, is an entertainment venue that exudes the glamour and sophistication of the era. As you traverse the streets of New York, you’ll encounter numerous residential buildings and hotels boasting the distinctive Art Deco aesthetic.

Miami’s Art Deco Renaissance

While New York boasts a vertical expression of Art Deco, Miami’s architectural landscape presents a horizontal canvas, with sprawling villas and luxury beachfront rentals embodying the essence of this design movement. Miami’s South Beach, in particular, is a treasure trove of Art Deco gems, where pastel-colored buildings line the streets, reminiscent of the glamorous heyday of the 1930s.

Miami’s Art Deco revival is not limited to its historic district. The city’s luxury rentals, especially the opulent villas in Miami, have embraced the timeless style, creating a harmonious blend of classic elegance and modern comfort. These villas showcase meticulous attention to detail, incorporating the iconic geometric patterns, stepped facades, and vibrant color schemes that define Art Deco architecture.

The name Villazzo Living says it all, their highly trained team of architects, engineers, groundskeepers, decorators, painters, and handy men provide every aspect of affordable elegance so that you can live comfortably. Your home and even your home away from home requires constant upkeep , Villazzo Living eliminates the need and worry of calling multiple companies to fix or refurbish whatever you require. “It is hard to find a trustworthy contractor in Miami Beach, “ explains Jeannette. She goes on to tell a horror story about a woman who hired someone to paint her home while she was out of town. When she returned, her residence was entirely the wrong color! The woman contacted the company and they refused to come back to correct their mistake. Not only did this woman pay someone to do a job incorrectly, she then had to hire someone new to fix the disastrous error. This is something that should never take place, but unfortunately it happens all the time. Jeannette and the rest of the Villazzo Living team have created a company that guarantees perfection.
