Be whisked away to some of the world’s most beautiful beach houses, where you can bask in the sunset, feel the ocean breeze, and relax in luxury with spectacular coastal views.
Description:

Coastal Bliss features 38 houses that showcase the very best in contemporary coastal architecture and design. These gorgeous vacation homes span the globe, from remote beaches in New Zealand to treetops in Costa Rica; from islands in Greece to dunes in South Africa; and from glamorous locations in the United States to some of the world’s best kept secrets in Portugal. (Plus so much more!).

Designed by leading architects, these homes range from minimalist pavilions to luxury houses. Each residence is illustrated with stunning full-colour photography and accompanied by insightful text that describes the architect’s approach to the design and how they drew inspiration from the context, climate, and clients.

Coastal Bliss is an aspirational volume for architects, designers, design enthusiasts, travellers, and dreamers. It’s the perfect gift for those seeking inspiration for their beach house, interested in contemporary architecture and design, or who simply want to let their imagination run wild.
