Designing the Good Life is a personal account of the postWorld War II movement that shaped a city and defined an era. This captivating story offers a unique look at the architecture of Norman M.

He delves into Miami's architectural history to examine some of his most iconic structures, including the Ocean Palm Motel, the Carillon Hotel, the North Shore Band Shell, the Diplomat Hotel and Country Club, and the Giller Building. Each project is lavishly illustrated with vintage images from the architect's exclusive collection and contemporary photographs by Miami photographer Robin Hill.
