Andrez and Liz Duany of DPZ Miami are the masterminds of Seaside and Rosemary. Give them credit
Good point, sorry I forgot.
Looking at this area in Florida I’m reminded of visiting family in Key West back in the mid 1950s. Their two-story Conch house had been in the family at least 3 generations and had adjustable shutters and screens on the upper windows but no glass. Newer homes with glass windows typically had jalousie windows because catching breezes was still important.
Very interesting, thanks.
What a lovely place. Your content is of very good quallity, so insightful👌
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you for another inspiring video
Thanks for watching.
4:49 wow that is so great, we have a lot of stuff like that in Wales, historically. A full height version without the supports is a common detail on mansions here, normally with a led roof though, hidden under the top of the wall, sometime they’re even crenellated or have other weird details.
I agree. Thanks for the insights.
A massive upgrade when compared to normal American car-dependent cities.
Though the „Center“ seems to lack business spaces on the first floor. In Europe that city would have at least 2 competing supermarkets, a few restaurants/bars, a bank, a drug store…
That’s what makes European cities actually walkable.
What’s the point in making walkways if the nearest supermarket is a Walmart well outside the city limits?
Agreed. Thanks.
True, although I don’t think the builders got to plan that much. Seems like a private community, not some development at the local govt level. It’s true the houses ought to have businesses in the bottom floors however these are likely homes of fairly affluent “professionals” who work away. Sadly these days the types of businesses that could be downstairs couldn’t fund the creation or purchase of the house. A positive vision but limited by the scope of the project.
US cities are not really car dependent it is the suburbs that are far more dependent. What the US needs is to build new cities to support the out flow from existing cities. Build and design then from scratch in a modular fashion so that they can be expanded and built upon. Most Americans that have a fantasy vision of European cities simply would not want to really live in them.
Europe expensive with the vast majority of people living in small apartments and not able to have a family. There is a reason why the likes of Germany is about to face down a population collapse.
A house in Germany is 8 times more expensive than a house in the US. And that is with a lower level of income as well.
@@bighands69 bro. Where do you get your world news from? Lemme guess - Fox News?
I am not informed about Germany but I am from Austria - a country between Switzerland and Germany where we also speak German.
My parents bought a suburban house ten years ago for $200k - right next to a train station which gets you to the city Center in a few minutes. In fact public transportation is so good that I don’t even own a car right now.
This house is now mine (20 years old).
Dad moved to small city and bought a house there. Mom is renting a house 1h outside of Vienna.
We are not rich. I am a student, and my parents have normal wages.
Most of my university classmates have apartments in Vienna and pay +-$600 for rent and almost none of them have a car because again - one would be stupid to use a car in Vienna when the metro gets you anywhere in 1/10th of the time and only costs $360 per year.
Meanwhile in desirable US cities you’d struggle to find any apartment under $1000 per month. I spent a year in CA 2h outside of central LA and the family house had cost them $600k.
$600k for a house without any walkable amenities in a typical American suburb and the build quality was sub par as to American standards (aka a cheap woodframe house with cheap sliding windows)
Meanwhile when you buy a house in Europe it’s built out of brick, has high security windows, great insulation…
Of course a house that can last upwards of 200 years is gonna cost you more than a cardboard box in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas.
@@bighands69 let me ask you this - how many kids in the US with normal middle class parents can afford to live in their own suburban house while being full time law school students.
Heck if I were in the US I wouldn’t even be able to afford the frankly outrageous Law School fees.
I have no clue where you got the impression from that people in Europe are somehow starving just to afford a roof over their head - but it’s total nonsense Lol
Packed with awesome knowledge & an all around pleasure to watch Brent!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the feedback.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this after alys beach!
Nice!! Enjoy.
Fabulous video!!!!😍
Glad you liked it!!
Love it.
Thanks!
I agree with New urbanist in principle but never have I found one in practice that feels complete and not for just the rich. The south particularly already has a solution to urban sprawl and car centric living and it's the small town or even mill villages. Instead of using new urbanist principles to bring back those, often times, lovely charming towns. They take their ball and go over to an extremely affluent portion of town and build for the upper echelon. It's as much isolationist as it is traditionalist. I would love for new urbanism to take an equitable approach to designing for the middle class and rebuilding America's great small towns instead of vacation spots or retirement villages for the wealthy. But the principles of design I agree with.
I think developers and investors need to see that these ideas are financially viable before they will invest in new opportunities. These ideas work and spawned the TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design) movement. These TND developments are sprouting up around the country in a more diverse way. Check them out. Some are better than others, but they are spreading.
@@BrentHull Thank you I will definitely look into that. I think much of our problem revolves around zoning which new urbanism has found a way to navigate around but the core solution would be to approach zoning with an understanding of building for more intimate planning practices.
Brent, it may be outside yor normal, but I would love to see you do an accessory dwelling unit for a client some day. They must have ageing parents, or on the way to being one.
Good idea. I'll see what i can find.
Great video
Thank you!
My Aunt used to live in Rosemary Beach, but moved 'around the bend' to Santa Rosa Beach. We never got the chance to visit, but I love the design elements you feature. Unfortunately, a lot of multi-unit/mixed use projects here are trying to hard to avoid the 'typical Spanish-style architecture' of Southern CA. They are making conglomerations of ugly tall boxes with metal pipe railings, painted white, grey, or tan to make them look like separate buildings. As you say, all they have to do is look around at the late Victorian, Craftsman, and variety of Spanish style homes, or the restored 1930s, 1940s, or 1950s commercial buildings for inspiration and style. The choices made for the new civic buildings were terrific, and in keeping with the area; our Fire Station has arched bays and raised panel doors below clerestory windows. :)
I agree 100%. Designers need to look to the past. There is plenty of inspiration. Thanks.
The key is to plan new city incorporations from scratch rather than them being ad hoc suburb spreading.
One of the reasons places like Levittown, New York took off was due to the fact the properties were of a good quality and a reasonable price and allow families be started and to grow.
The US is effectively the only developed country in the world that has a stable population right now with good demographics. Every other country is facing into a population collapse that we will see play out over the next few decades.
So the question is how to achieve Levittown with the design principles of the video you have done.
Great insight. I agree. Starting from scratch helps, but a lot of large developments today do start from scratch and still mess it up. I think it also requires a change of thinking about the car, its role, size of houses and quality of life. These are harder to overcome because realtors and bankers are telling a different story on how to calculate value. Thanks so much.
DPZ invented probably the best and the original "form based code" at Seaside. I assume they have tweaked it some over the years. My theory is that only when a place uses an intelligent form based code can it make intelligent progress. Unfortunately, most places cling to 60's style zoning instead, believing that what is most common is of course the best. Places like Seaside are a clear indictment of "normal" planning in America. Lots of people in my city think that perpetuating the 60's approach is a noble cause and crusade for it (because it makes driving and parking everywhere the same as a trip to the Big Box). Stupidity surrounds us? Please keep showing the better alternatives.
Thanks for sharing. I agree with you. It starts with a focused vision.
It seems like we'll done new urbanism sells like hotcakes. Still, here in West Michigan, developers remain in their comfort zone --- meaning, the 70's approach. The economy is booming here, so I ask, if not now, when?
Good question.
"Simplified Colonial" That's my tempo.
I agree.
And did you mention every house has a Florida Room!
No, I didn't realize that.
Beaufort SC has Newpoint, Habersham & other new urbanism communities even more beautiful than Rosemary Beach
Thanks, I'll check them out.
🕶🇺🇸
👍
This is disgusting.
wut
Sorry
@@BrentHull LOL
It looks like a movie set. And the privacy must be terrible. Maybe for rentals.
It's a tourist area. Pretty much all rentals and second homes...(beach homes) that are likely also rented out at high season. I've been there.
I've stayed there a few times. Privacy has never been a concern there. Thanks for watching.
