Thirty coastal homes, and a very good argument for living near the water

Anyone who has spent a summer at the beach understands the pull. Beautiful Beach Houses takes that feeling seriously, touring more than thirty contemporary coastal homes by award winning architects and asking a genuinely interesting question along the way: what actually makes a beach house, and how does that answer change from one coastline to the next?

The range is the pleasure of it. Hamptons weatherboard sits alongside stripped back concrete and timber minimalism, with projects from New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, the United States, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, Sweden, Croatia, Spain, Portugal and Greece. The photography is large, generous and full colour throughout, with a foreword from Mark Bullivant of SAOTA.

For anyone living on the coast, or planning a bach, it is equal parts inspiration and reference. It reads beautifully alongside Relaxed Rustic and the rest of our books collection.
