Florida Tropical House, Beach house in Beverly Shores, United States
The Florida Tropical House stands on Lake Michigan shoreline, featuring flat roofs, terraces, and extensive use of modern architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built in 1933 for the Chicago World's Fair Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition, the house was relocated to Beverly Shores in 1935 by developer Robert Bartlett.
The interior design incorporates shades of yellow, coral, and blue, reflecting the Florida coastal aesthetics adapted to Indiana's continental environment.
The house requires visitors to participate in annual public tours, as mandated by an agreement between private lessees and Indiana Dunes National Park.
The flat roof design draws inspiration from ocean liner deck construction methods, incorporating maritime engineering principles into residential architecture.
