Description
This is another title in this highly successful series. The coast has always been a source of inspiration for architects. Far removed from the hectic pace of city life, coastal retreats offer a chance to reflect on the natural elements, the sea, the sand and the bush land. Away from the constraints placed by local councils, neighbours and the community, the beach house offers both the architect and the client the opportunity to realise their visions. Many of the beach houses shown here hang precariously over their bush land escarpments. Others are deeply entrenched in the native scrub, only making their presence felt once one is past the front door. In impressive coastal surroundings, these beach houses offer unique glimpses of some of our finest contemporary architecture. Nestled into the gnarled scrub or exposed to the wind and surf, beach houses are about environmental extremes. When the suburbs are left behind, it's these extremes that excite the senses.
Whether it's a simple timber shack or a sophisticated architectural statement, beach houses are about fantasy and escape. This book, the second in the series, illustrates some of Australia and New Zealand's most stunning beach-side residences.
