Mediterranean ModernInnovative architecture and contemporary lifestyles: this book captures the new design aesthetic in one of the world's most seductive regions. Mediterranean Modern is the first book in a new series Design House, which caters to an increasingly design-savvy audience by bringing together the glamour and insight of interior-design publications with the best contemporary architect-designed houses around the world. It presents twenty-five houses from around the region - from southern Spain to northern Africa, from Greece to the Balearic Islands - differing in their locations and styles, they are united by their clean lines, open-plan living and seamless indoor-outdoor interaction. With straightforward texts and glorious photographs, plus work by internationally established arcitects such as Alberto Campo Baeza and Rudy Ricciotti, the content, format and layout of the book will inspire anyone interested in interior design, domestic architecture, DIY, or contemporary building. |
