Florida style tends toward the breezy, the casual and the comfortable. S. Marc Thee and Michael Abbott, who make up the Florida-based design team Marc-Michaels, are two of that style's most devoted disciples. So central Is the weather to this aesthetic that Thee (right), when asked to name his Mo., important influence, doesn't cite a revolutionary movement or a titanic individual but rather "living in a warm resort climate, enjoying the relaxed, sunlit focus of resort design." Thee started out by interning for a design firm-"working for free, to get some experience"-before teaming up with Abbott in 1985; since then, Marc-Michaels has grown to employ 72 people. In addition to the many Florida commissions it has accepted, the firm has taken on new projects in Aspen and Pennsylvania. They’ve even worked in Alaska-where the clients, the owners of a fishing camp, could undoubtedly use a good dose of what Sunshine Staters take for granted.
