Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
The fascinating and natural conditions of the coast, which are difficult to tackle, are the framework for these twenty-five projects scattered around the world. The owners use the cottages as second homes. Therefore, their use--which is different from a conventional residence--determines the important factors for each project. These houses are designed to accommodate occupants for short periods of time throughout the year, to house two or more family groups, or to serve as cabins that fulfill the basic needs for living.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very Dissappointed,
By James Johnston (Long Beach Island, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beach Cottages (Paperback)
I am a builder who was looking for ideas on cottage decore for sea shore homes. This book would be more aptly titled "Modern Architecture by the Sea". The homes featured in this book had nothing to do with most peoples' preconceived ideas of what a "cottage" looks like. I am returning the book for a refund.
