Description
Piet Boon Beach illustrates two extraordinary beach houses, both created by Dutch designer Piet Boon.
The first house, located in the tropics, was built by taking into account the island's windy nature, which allows the house to be cooled down in a natural way. The palm leaf strewn gazebo leads you immediately onto the sands of an azure-blue ocean, nature's largest swimming pool.
The second house, with its remarkable red cedar finished roof is able to withstand any wintry shower, and as the house is tucked away in the Zeeland dunes, the inhabitants are able to enjoy a cosy veranda fireplace well into the autumn or even winter.
The book provides a rich source of information for anyone fascinated by design, living space and Piet Boon's style.

Reviewed by David Johnson, RIBA Bookshop Manager, Design Centre Chelsea Harbour
Piet Boon: Beach is the third book looking at the work of the increasingly celebrated Dutch Builder turned architect and interior Designer. He is renowned for his attention to detail and the “contemporary timeless” style visible throughout his work. This book looks at two very contrasting seaside projects, a topic which has seen a great deal of books published in the last few years. Depending on how you pick the book up (it’s worth a good look before opening it up as it is exquisitely produced), the first is a family’s second home in Zeeland complete with Tennis court and ample parking for Range Rovers, and the second, Piet Boon’s own idyllic private residence off the coast of Venezuela inspired by tradition and naturally ventilated in its entirety. With very little text in the book, an understanding of the two projects featured depends on the beautiful photographs and their presentation, and quite frankly they are exemplary; beautifully conceived and composed page after page. You can be sure that clients who get hold of this book will quickly realise what it is they are looking to achieve. Ultimately, Architects and Designers can learn a lot from Piet Boon; his attention to detail, his skill at making spaces irresistible when photographed, his ability to converse so effectively with his clients and the timeless comfort of the spaces he creates is more than enough to inspire designers working on any type of project.
