Rosemary Beach Carillon
— a small town built to be walked, by the Gulf.
Not only on a wall.
Rosemary Beach Carillon, on ceramic.
Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.
Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.
Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.
Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.
“Rosemary Beach is a planned New Urbanist town on County Road 30A in the Florida Panhandle, designed in the mid-1990s by Duany Plater-Zyberk. The architecture borrows from the Caribbean and St. Augustine, with deep porches and dark wood. A clock tower marks the town center near the Gulf, and the streets are narrow on purpose so the walk to the beach is short. from the studio
The place, in three passes.
Rosemary Beach sits on County Road 30A in south Walton County, Florida, between Seacrest Beach to the west and Alys Beach to the east, along the Gulf of Mexico. The town was founded in 1995 and master-planned by Duany Plater-Zyberk, the firm behind Seaside a few miles west. The plan covers roughly 107 acres organized around four greens that step down toward the Gulf, with a town center, a small carillon-style clock tower, and a deliberately tight street grid intended for walking rather than driving.
The architectural code at Rosemary Beach pulls from the West Indies, St. Augustine, and the Caribbean colonial vernacular: dark cypress and stained wood, deep porches, metal roofs, paving brick from Chicago, and a muted palette set against white stucco. The result reads more shaded than the white-clapboard look of Seaside next door. Boardwalks rather than asphalt roads cross the dunes to the Gulf, and the four-story height limit at the center keeps the rooflines low against the live oaks.
Rosemary Beach is a private residential and rental community with public access to the beach via marked public crossovers along 30A. The town center, near the Pearl Hotel and the Western Green, holds a handful of shops and restaurants and is open to walkers. Parking is limited and metered in season, and most visitors arrive on foot or by bike from neighboring 30A communities. Peak season runs from spring break through Labor Day; the shoulder months read as quiet, with the bell tower visible above the rooftops.
