Short for Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes(in reference to the conference where the style debuted), art deco is characterized by strong geometric shapes, vibrant pastel colors, and smooth, streamlined forms. Sometimes referred to as “Cubism Tamed,” the movement was birthed in France during the 1920s and exploded...
Sited a little south of South Beach, Miami Beach’s Art Deco Historic District boasts over 800 art deco–style buildings in less than one square mile and is home to the largest concentration of art deco buildings in the world. Miami’s wealth of art deco can largely be attributed to one man: automobile magnate Carl Fisher. In 1910, Fisher first travel...
1250 Ocean Dr. While its crisp white exterior may seem more tame than other buildings on this list, there’s no doubt that the Carlyle is one of the most famous constructions in all of Miami. Designed by German American architect Richard Kiehnel, the Carlyle has appeared in films like Scarface (1983), The Birdcage (1996), and Random Hearts (1999), a...
1430 Ocean Dr. The McAlpin is considered a near-perfect embodiment of Miami art deco. Delightfully symmetrical with turquoise and coral pink accents, the McAlpin’s boxy silhouette stands out from its neighbors on Ocean Drive. Designed in 1940 by Dixon, the McAlpin follows the rule of three: a design guideline purportedly influenced by Egyptian trad...
1300 Washington Ave. Constructed in 1937, the Miami Beach post office on Washington Avenue was dreamed up by Chicago-based architect Howard Lovewell Cheney and built under the purview of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. The curious post office features a round lobby with a cone-shaped roof topped by a tiny cupola, a 10...
736 Ocean Dr. Dreamed up in 1935 by Henry Hohauser (one of Miami’s most prolific architects, who’s estimated to have created 300 buildings in the area), the Colony Hotel has a simple, yet striking design. The building was the first “streamline moderne” building in Miami; its three tiers have been highlighted with turquoise paint. But perhaps the co...
640 Ocean Dr. Sometimes called the “Blue Jewel of Miami” because of its azure paint accents and neon lighting, the Park Central Hotel is a Magic City icon that opened its doors in 1937. Another Hohauser creation, the hotel was a favorite among celebrities like Clark Gable and Rita Hayworth during its heyday. Seven stories tall and with 135 rooms, t...
1220 Collins Ave. Completed in 1939, the Webster is a great example of Hohauser’s adherence to the rule of three—the building is equally divided into thirds horizontally and vertically and a trio of windows can be found on each of its three floors. Though it was originally designed as a hotel, it now functions as the flagship storefront of a high-e...
1450 Collins Ave. This cute little building on the corner of Collins Avenue and Española Way has seen quite a few businesses come and go since it opened its doors in 1940. Yet another construction designed by Hohauser, the gloriously curvaceous property (a welcome change from the ultra-line obsessed creations early in the art deco movement) was ori...
2100 Collins Ave. The Bass is probably the most subtle example of art deco on this list, but it’s also one of the most attractive. Originally constructed in 1930 to house the Miami Beach Public Library and Arts Center, the building was the very first place to publicly exhibit art in South Florida. Architect Russell Pancoast, grandson of John Collin...
