Design
Rosemary Beach is one of three planned communities on Florida's Gulf coast designed by Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. The other two are Seaside and Alys Beach. The three are examples of a style of urban planning known as New Urbanism.
Rosemary Beach, designed in 1995, offers shops, restaurants, a hotel, and public green spaces.[2] The design of the town reflects New Orleans’ French Quarter[2] and European Colonial influences in the West Indies and Caribbean. Sustainable materials, natural color palettes, high ceilings for better air circulation,[5] balconies, and easy access to the beach by foot[2] are typical design features.
The architecture of the homes in Rosemary resemble places like New Orleans, St. Augustine, Charleston S.C., and the West Indies. The houses along Rosemary Beach are close together and are all neutral colored.[6] The community has four open door swimming pools.[7]
