Emphasizing the Outdoors in Building

by Stacie Kress Booker

Marieanne Khoury-Vogt and Erik Vogt, architects with a modest practice, closed up shop in Miami four years ago and moved to a seaside enclave in the Panhandle to transform it into one of Florida?s latest New Urbanist communities. They also set up residence there. Andres Duany, founder of the New Urbanism movement, recommended them for the job: Town architects, Alys Beach. The fledgling town (only 5% to 8% of properties have been built) is full of the outdoor living hallmarks of New Urbanism, plenty of pedestrian-friendly avenues, open gathering spaces and private residential courtyards.

Thanks for submitting the article! While in Seagrove a month or so ago,
I got a personal tour of Alys Beach and had not seen it in awhile. The
development is totally captivating. The imagination runs wild with
visions of the finished poduct!

I can say for sure that the Caliza Pool is stunning! I wanted to unzip my
jacket and take a seat on the cool green lounger and relax!! I thought
of telling my tour guide....I'll babysit...I'll do anything to spend a day of
fun in the sun at this pool.... The amenities at this development are
truly amazing! I asked myself....am I really in SoWal or had I
taken a wrong turn on my bike?? We do not have the typical real
estate market here.... we have a totally different concept, with each
beach community marching to their own drum with unique architecture
and landscaping... This is why our area is distinctive compared to
others....with the exception of the Big Blues!

Once George gets his George's open ,Alys Beach will start to take on
a whole new identity.... a welcoming feel.... The green space and the whole
concept of Alys Beach makes you feel...there's no place like home!!

Tivoli... that's the word I've been waiting to come back to me. Captivating. completely captivating. cc.
