the works were created by architectural illustrator wallace mctammany for steven j. Brisson, aia, and capture the aspirational coastal lifestyle associated with naples during the florida development boom of the 1970s.

these hand-rendered presentation artworks belong to the pre-digital era of architectural illustration, when perspective, reflections, landscaping, light and atmosphere were created entirely by hand. As a result, they work both as architectural documents and as decorative works of art.

waterfront architectural rendering

the first rendering shows somerset at moorings from the water, with private docks, leisure boats, tropical planting and mediterranean-inspired condominium architecture beneath a wide florida sky.

it captures the polished optimism of luxury waterfront development in 1970s naples, where architecture, boating and coastal living were closely linked.

site and amenity rendering

the second rendering gives a broader view of the development, showing the relationship between the buildings, shoreline, landscaped grounds and communal leisure areas.

the soft colour palette, painterly handling and atmospheric light give the work a quality beyond technical presentation. It has strong appeal for collectors of architectural art, florida design history and coastal modern interiors.

presented in matching period frames and mounts.
