Customer Reviews

A fine survey of options and creative responses to differing coastal environments.

The contemporary beach house designs featured in International Beach Houses comes from top architectural structures around the world - a little over twenty - and includes structures from the U.S., Europe, Asia, South Africa and South America. Books which focus on style often focus on interiors, but this shows floor plans, views and interiors alike, discussing local terrain, culture, and describing the unique architectural approaches of each creation. Art libraries strong in contemporary architecture will find it a fine survey of options and creative responses to differing coastal environments.
