Reviews
'Its glossy pages pay tribute to the island nation's glamorous mansions and elaborate interiors . . . The result of two years of research and multiple on-site explorations, Mallea's work brings to light exquisite Beaux Arts palaces, modernist mansions, and even a spectacular beach house (now used as a restaurant).' - Architectural Digest 'Hermes Mallea's Great Houses of Havana is one of several books on that city to appear this season, but it may be the most personal. . . . For Mallea, a Cuban-American architect who is based in New York, the book grew out of a longstanding fascination with his family's history.

Synopsis
Great Houses of Havana celebrates one hundred years of creativity, design, and style that made the city "the Paris of the Caribbean." For four hundred years, Havana was the center of Spanish trade in the western hemisphere. With the expansion of the sugar industry, independence from Spain, and North American investment, Havana became a city of great wealth, great style, and great houses in a vocabulary that was a unique amalgam of European, American, and Caribbean elements. Great Houses of Havana traces the evolution of the Cuban home from the classic, Spanish colonial courtyard house to the "Tropical Modernist" villas of the 1950s--houses reflecting international architecture trends while remaining true to the Cuban tradition. Cuba's social history is woven throughout the book. Vintage photographs illustrate Havana's sophisticated lifestyle--the masked balls, yacht club picnics, and dynastic weddings of fashionable Cubans and their international guests. Popular cafes, hotels, theaters, and weekend resorts are also featured, creating a view of the privileged life inside the gated mansions of the city's grandest neighborhoods., Great Houses of Havana is a beautifully illustrated presentation of the greatest residences of Havana, celebrating one hundred years of creativity, design, and style that made the city "the Paris of the Caribbean," with full historical accounts of architects, designers, and famous residents., Great Houses of Havana is a beautifully illustrated presentation of the greatest residences of Havana, celebrating one hundred years of creativity, design, and style that made the city "the Paris of the Caribbean," with full historical accounts of architects, designers, and famous residents.
