The Florida Vernacular style focuses on practicality in the state’s hot, humid environment. Common features include metal roofs for heat reflection, wide porches for shade, and raised foundations to protect against flooding. Simple, boxy floorplans and ample windows promote cross-ventilation.
This style emerged in the late 19th century as settlers adapted their homes to Florida’s climate and natural resources. It gained broader recognition in the early 20th century when tourists and new residents observed its suitability for coastal living. Today, it remains a popular approach for those seeking comfort, durability, and an unpretentious aesthetic.
