Beach House

The beach house exerts an irresistible emotional pull on us. The idea of a house on a faraway shore, or a remote cliffside redoubt, represents freedom, escape, luxury, and the romance of a simpler, more sensual way of life. From the Maldives to Malibu, Beach House takes readers on a stunning photographic journey through the world’s most beautiful and stylish coastal homes, told through interviews with leading architects and interior designers. Explore the barefoot luxury of African cabanas and Balearic chic; discover Olson Kundig’s contemporary architecture in the Pacific Northwest, and Tropical Modernism in Brazil and Costa Rica.

Featured properties include Su Casa – the remarkable Mission Revival beachfront residence in Puerto Rico restored by Champalimaud Design; and the iconic Casa Piscina del Cielo in Mexico by Zozaya Arquitectos. Experience a wild cliffside casale on the remote Italian island of Alicudi, a super-stylish Mykonos villa by Hubert Zandberg, and an Indian Ocean hideaway by superyacht designers Winch. With over 250 beautiful color images in a large-format cloth-bound edition, Beach House is the essential global survey of the world’s most seductive and stylish seaside residences.
