- Book Synopsis
- California Coastal style combines the most beautiful and livable aspects of modern, rustic, cottage, and coastal design to showcase the California dream. California style comes to full fruition in today's coastal homes. Whether a new build or renovation, the homes are all about easy, comfortable living with the focus on the outdoors. The diverse range of projects are organized into three regions: Northern Coast, Central Coast, and Southern Coast. Architectural styles range from traditional to modern, with added variety in the form of rustic modern, small-format bungalow, and renovations of existing buildings. The California Coast is an iconic landscape, one that has been imprinted on the collective psyche as a land of endless sunshine, pristine beaches, swaying palm trees, epic waves, and sinuous curving roads clinging to dramatic cliffs along a rugged coastline. Scenically rich and teeming with wildlife, California is also known for its laid-back, nature-forward, indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This is epitomized in the architecture and design of eighteen homes featured in the book, which speaks to the coastline's special qualities**x2014;as well as its distinct hazards. This selection of extraordinary West Coast homes offers inspiration and ideas and an armchair travel experience.
