Description

There's no two ways about it: life is better by the beach. The salty air, the sound of the waves and, above all, the relaxed way of life. This low-key attitude to living manifests itself in how we decorate our homes by the sea. Life's A Beach takes readers into beach homes around the world - from the hills of New Zealand to beaches of Brazil to the remote islands of the Aegean - exploring the many ways to decorate a cozy home by the sea. Handmade touches, natural materials and eclectic interiors all imbue a sense of wellbeing, and are found throughout the homes in Life's a Beach. From humble little beach cottages to extraordinary modern bungalows, these spaces are designed for respite and relaxation, and for enjoying the beachy surrounds.

Reviews

"From the more exotic, with their tropical brutalism, to the Nordic, light and white, to the dazzling, textured Mediterranean, all represent the spirit of the owners, who have decided to reconnect with nature and themselves here." -- LA REPUBBLICA-- "La Repubblica (Italy), 16.06.2021"
"It is not for nothing that it is a well-known saying: life is better by the beach. Are you such a beach fanatic and can't get enough of sand between your toes Then this book is an absolute must for you. (...) Handmade furniture, natural materials and eclectic interiors create a sense of luxury as well as a nice lounge vibe. You'll be amazed: from simple little beach houses to extraordinary modern bungalows, these spaces are designed for rest and relaxation" -- ELLE DECORATION-- "ELLE Decoration (The Netherlands), 23.07.2021"
"It is not only a holiday from everyday life, but also from who we are. You can be someone else at the beach, someone spontaneous, mysterious and without worries, writes Sarah Trounce, one of the editors of Life's a Beach, a visual book that has taken on the desires of global holiday makers." -- MARIE CLAIRE-- "Marie Claire (Italy), September 2021"
"The most beautiful beach houses in the book Life's a Beach are a visual journal 'pied dans l'eau'. Immersed in tropical nature, overlooking the Mediterranean: the summer refuges where everyone (absolutely everyone) would like to spend their holidays." -- ELLE DECOR-- "ELLE Decor (Italy), 10.07.2021 + 23.07.2021"
"Throughout the pages, we discover homes designed as refuges, with their feet in the water or carved into the side of a cliff. (...) Built taking into account the climatic and geographical constraints of their setting, these homes favor the use of natural and environmentally friendly materials. The architects, refusing to give in to the ease of seaside clichs, play with shapes, textures and colors to create unique places in harmony with the landscape and the shoreline. Each property is the result of a balance between traditional methods and modernity, to create an atmosphere of enchantment." -- AD-- "AD (France), 21.06.2021"
"Whether it is private residences or accommodation facilities, the common denominator is the sea. That transcends the flawless interior design and, with its majestic and relaxing grip, invades the soul. Surrender is the only possible option. " -- ELLE DECOR-- "ELLE Decor (Italy), July/August 2021"
