Mediterranean makeover

摘要

A recently completed luxury development called Naples Bay Resort in southern Florida has proved successful despite an economic outlook that has turned grim. The resort's overall image is meant to evoke a scaled-down version of the Mediterranean coastal village of Portofino, Italy, with tile roofs, wide overhangs and colorful stucco walls with deep set balconies.The sea town image is further evoked by the choice of Venetian-style awnings of simple construction, here dressed up with custom decorative arms and wall plate mounting brackets.
