Synopsis
The first volume in this popular series showcases a diverse collection of Australian and New Zealand coastal retreats. The beach house or weekender has long played a major role in the recreational activities of Australians and New Zealanders, but design was often of secondary importance. It is only relatively recently that the beach house has evolved into an architect-designed sanctuary for its owners and visitors, where breathtaking surrounds complement superb architecture and comfortable living. Included are beach houses from an impressive selection of architects: Glenn Murcutt, Harry Seidler, Pete Bossley, Architectus, Craig Craig Moller, McBride Charles Ryan Architects, Kerstin Thompson Architects, Brit Andreson, McGauran Soon Architects, Lindsay Clare, Cox Richardson and others. All projects reflect fine contemporary architecture in an incredible diversity of forms and beach locations - from environmentally sensitive designs, to sumptuous seaside home and luxurious clifftop residences. 295 col., 50 b.andw.

Beach Houses Of Australia and New Zealand
Seller: Elizabeth's Bookshops, Fremantle, WA, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condition: Near Fine. ARCHITECTURE"If there is one thing that symbolises the Australian way of life - it is leisure time in a weekend house, preferably near the sea. The houses that they build are moderate in size and cost to construct - their predominant aim being to maximise a sense of freedom and ease of use in open spaces, both inside and out of the house. They are rarely sophisticated in taste, but rather put their emphasis on an emerging Australian unpretentious simplicity of style . one can only marvel at the perseverance of the architects and their clients who produced the work in this book." 159 p. : col. ill., plans ; 31 cm. #240324 Vacation homes -- Australia Vacation homes -- New Zealand Seaside architecture -- Australia Seaside architecture -- New Zealand 2003 reprint of 2000 edition (Note Volume 2 also available) Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
