Bookcondition: NEW. AS NEW. NUEVO COMO NUEVOShowcasing superlative architecture in some of the most stunning and remote areas of the South American coastline, Beach Houses of South America, is destined to inspire and delight.
A number of renowned Latin American architects have chosen the continent's breathtakingly diverse coastline as a backdrop for their work, and their canvases range from stark, arid locations to lusciously tropical settings.
Within these beautiful landscapes each project displays the architect's ability to strike a balance between nature and dwelling place, as well as their innate sense of what makes a South American beach house culturally unique. Many houses offer a new slant on an age-old culture, or are deeply influenced by their natural surrounds - their architects always mindful of working in a fragile environment.
There are simple, practical homes for families and friends and lavish seaside weekenders, all of which share one thing in common - as beach houses they are also a sanctuary in which to relax and unwind
