New Perspective: Coastal Houses (New Perspectives)

No matter how different their styles, dimensions, or materials, houses by the sea always have one characteristic in common - the fundamental role played by the presence of the waterscape in their overall design. "Coastal Houses" takes the reader on a tour of some of the world's most stunning projects and shows how their proximity to the sea can affect not only the orientation and layout of a house, but also use of space and sometimes the design concept as a whole. This volume seeks to show how the sea can affect and inspire design, without stifling creativity.
