Whether a simple timber shack or a sophisticated architectural statement, a beach house is about fantasy and escape. Many of the seaside residences featured in this book offer exactly that: the product of their owners' dreams realised by their architects' vision. They also provide a sharp contrast to city homes by complementing the extreme and fragile coastal sites in which they are located, through creative and sympathetic design.
Author Stephen Crafti brings together another stunning collection of beach houses to stir the imagination. A book as popular as its predecessor, 'Beachhouses'. |
