Fascination seaside living : architecture and design

Living by the sea, surrounded by dunes, cliffs, or wide beaches is a life in harmony with the elements. This volume presents designs and spatial concepts of dreamy, relaxed, and enjoyable living between water, air, and earth. It features an enormous variety of residential styles ranging from minimalist dwellings on remote islands to palatial mansions in urban settings, and luxurious vacation villas high above the sea. Whether in the northern or southern hemisphere, in America or in the Asia-Pacific region, all the residences presented here have one thing in common - the major role played by water as the main feature of each and every one of them.
