Description

This book presents a catalogue of opportunities for getting the best out of a life by and on the sea. Opening chapter 'Seaside Architecture' surveys many types of building specifically associated with the sea: holiday villas in France; sturdy stone cottages in Scottish fishing villages; beach huts in Mexico; cabins in the Caribbean; new apartment developments in California. Other chapters look at how seaside and seafront dwellers have approached the problem of linking habitations with the sea itself; creative use of marine colours, materials and textures; use of flotsam, shells and suchlike; a sequence of images of the ultimate experiences of living by the sea.

Every opportunity to make cross-cultural comparisons and connections is taken and all sections are fully cross-referenced and indexed, to give a dynamic compilation of solutions to creating an ideal place by the sea.
