This sumptuous volume is a fascinating look at how architecture and nature can be seamlessly combined to create some of the most visually stunning, yet functional homes in the world. By way of a stunning presentation of more than 220 full-colour photographs, «Coastal Homes» shows how natural surroundings can inspire, and give shape to architectural designs — climbing flowers and hedges become fences and walls, palm trees turn into columns, and rivers and oceans form ponds and lakes. This is a must have volume for anyone who wants to combine the best of architecture with the best of nature.
