As one of wealthiest communities in South Florida, Boca Raton has established some strict standards for development. With no outdoor car dealerships, billboards and tall-standing advertisements for businesses allowed, the city prides itself on being an upscale region along the coast. Many buildings in the area embrace a Mediterranean Revival or Spanish Colonial Revival architectural feel, since most of the city’s early development was influenced by American resort architect Addison Mizner, who continues to inspire professionals and has been officially recognized for his contributions to the city with the development of Mizner Park.
Despite the commercial restrictions the city inhibits, its residents are always pushing boundaries when it comes to their designs, including one local couple who recently remodeled their entire home, with most of the focus put on creating one-of-a-kind bathrooms.
