Book Description

Publication Date: July 2002

Having a country house with all the comforts of a city dwelling is a dream that many aspire to. Mediterranean Country Houses is a superbly reproduced book that demonstrates how going back to the country and enjoying rural life need no longer mean giving up or compromising on the benefits the modern world of architecture has to offer. It features a careful selection of conversion schemes for country houses, each one in its own way a brilliant creative solution that retains respect for traditional aesthetic values. Examples include a Mediterranean village house, a refuge near the sea, an old rectory, an old mill, a country hotel, a painter's residence and a restructured farmhouse.

3.0 out of 5 stars real country style, October 13, 2004

HelenC - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mediterranean Country Houses (English and Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

We live in a metropolitan 30 story building and would like to bring in a relaxed feeling to our daily life. This book offers a calm and rural style from traditional mediterrean country houses.If you are looking for something with rich colors or delicate textures, you may be dissapointed. But if your are looking for real meditterean country house or old houses with old woods and decorations, this is certainly a book that you want.
