Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
Miami, FL, USA
Architects: F. Burrall Hoffman and Paul Chalfin, 1922
Our host on aite is Kristin Stone, owner of The Pasadena Tour Company.
Join us for another Inside Iconic Houses tour! We visit the iconic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a National Historic Landmark, which was the winter home of industrialist James Deering. Completed in 1922, Vizcaya was conceived as a modern and subtropical interpretation of eighteenth-century Italian villas found at country estates of the Veneto region of northern Italy. Its designers adapted traditional Mediterranean architectural elements to the subtropical climate with a remarkable sensibility for environmental issues. Artistic Director Paul Chalfin advised Deering on the home's design, while architect Francis Burrall Hoffman, Jr. executed their vision.
Vizcaya’s ten-acres of European-inspired gardens, designed by landscape architect Diego Suarez, are among the most elaborate in the US.
