Mediterranean Revival vs. Tropical Modern: The Two Design Languages Shaping South Florida Luxury

From Coral-gables courtyards to Brickell’s glass-forward skyline, South Florida’s top-tier buyers tend to gravitate toward two architectural dialects. Mediterranean Revival delivers heritage, romance, and a sense of established prestige. Tropical Modern answers the climate with shade, airflow, and indoor–outdoor continuity. This MILLION Luxury editorial lays out what each style signals, how it lives day to day, and how to evaluate them through the lens of neighborhood fit, renovation pathways, and long-term desirability.

This editorial reframes “jet-ready” living as a series of design and operational decisions that reduce friction on departure day and restore calm on arrival night. It also offers a discreet checklist for evaluating condos and homes across Miami-beach, Brickell, Sunny-isles, and Fort-lauderdale without over-optimizing for flash.
