Coast : Lifestyle Architecture

This beautifully illustrated case-bound volume offers a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into some of the most extraordinary homes on America's East Coast. Featuring a range of coastal residences, from sea captains' mansions in Maine and Nantucket to classic cottages in Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod, architectural treasures in Miami and the Florida Keys, and beachside hideaways in Savannah, Charleston, and the Outer Banks, Coast presents a collection of some of America's finest seaside homes built over the past two decades by the country's most renowned architects and designers. 'Coast's' sumptuous photography celebrates the beauty of the beach in all seasons, the seaside villages, the swimming coves and their weatherworn signs, and of course the variety of beachside architecture, from the understated charm of humble clam shacks to the enduring elegance of gracious beachside mansions. A feast for beach lovers, architects, designers, and anyone who just loves escaping to the coast, this book is a tribute to seaside shelters, both grand and small.
