Book Description

January 16, 2010
o     Homes designed by KAA Design Group celebrate the Californian dream

o     Features outstanding new homes and renovations

o     Breathtaking photography enhances the story of each home and how the architect worked with the client to create a personal sanctuary

Southern California has historically attracted adventurous, open-minded people who thrive in the geographically and culturally diverse environment; it is a place where risk-takers seeking a new beginning or a fresh approach to life are richly rewarded. The region promises much more than just the seamless fusion of indoor and outdoor living. It is the unique combination of casual sophistication, spectacular sights, and a gentle climate that yields a way of life that is justifiably coveted by people around the world.

Lifestyles of Southern California: Personal Sanctuaries by KAA Design Group celebrates the individual stories behind the designer-client relationship: follow a family on their life-changing voyage halfway across the world; explore the home of an entrepreneur who, at least metaphorically, keeps watch over the Santa Monica Bay; or see how the renovation of a residence with a rich history awakened the amateur archaeologist in its owner. Illustrated with breathtaking photography, the stories reveal how the lives of these individuals and families are elevated by homes that reflect and shape their lifestyles.

5.0 out of 5 stars really enjoy this book, January 26, 2012

This review is from: Lifestyles of Southern California: Personal Sanctuaries (Hardcover)
I keep this book at the office, and look through it when I dream of living in Southern California. This book is sort of a "brochure" for the kaa group, who designed the houses featured in the book. But it sort of does a disservice to the book to describe it that way. The book features full page photos of beautiful homes in southern california, and has additional pages to describe the architectural features of the homes (I skip these pages, and only look at the photos).

Many of the houses feature views of the ocean, which you can see in the book. The book is devoid of photos of people, except for 1 or 2 photos, and focuses on the million dollar homes with views of the beach. Anyone interested in southern california, beaches, photography or architecture will probably enjoy this book.
