I love the colors and shapes of Miami Beach’s iconic lifeguard towers. πŸ©·πŸ§‘πŸ©΅πŸ’šπŸ’™

β€œWithin the abstract detailing of the roof lines, contours, colors and materials, is the optimistic futurism of Art Deco, the local comfort of Cracker Style, and the brightness of South Florida’s tropical fauna.” - William Lane Architects, designers of the original Miami Beach lifeguard towers (1995) and their subsequent redesign (2015)
