Contemporary Beach Houses Down Under

There has never been as much demand among stressed out professionals for places to get away from it all. Once the beach-side site has been selected, architects are the next port of call in the quest for a coastal dream home. Stephen Crafti walks the reader through another superb collection of architect-designed beach houses - some permanent residences, some weekenders, some luxury residences, some more redolent of the traditional beach shack. Glorious locations in Australia and New Zealand together with fabulous designs make another superb coffee table book from one of Australia's leading architectural and design writers.
