This beautifully illustrated global survey explores the architectural allure and emotional impact of residential design situated alongside oceans, lakes, and rivers. Curated by experienced architecture editor Francesc Zamora Mola, the book takes readers on a visual tour of remarkable waterside properties, including grand beachfront villas, dramatic cliff-edge retreats, and simple coastal cottages. The text highlights how modern design studios blend building structures with surrounding natural landscapes by selecting organic elements, utilizing regional stone, and integrating panoramic windows that maximize scenic water views. Beyond basic structural layouts, the chapters look into the physical and emotional benefits of living close to water, exploring how these calm settings support personal well-being. Filled with high-resolution photography, this reference coffee-table volume serves as a comprehensive style guide for professional architects, beach house renovators, and design enthusiasts seeking inspiration for their next waterfront project.
