In the introduction are images from Careyes, where the palapas architecture was first used for these types of homes. 200 color photographs are featured., Entrances and doors, bedrooms and bathrooms, dining rooms and sitting rooms, terraces and swimming pools are spaces used to put together a beach house. Good architecture pays attention to the modus. The beach invites to eat and sleep, bathe and play, to be and to dream in a special manner. This is the main challenge facing architects when they design a beach house: to make it an experience that changes us. Another big challenge is to intelligently combine materials and construction technology. It is a great mistake to select the wrong metal window, or a weak wooden floor, at the beach. These houses are examples of wise handling of materials and local technology in combination with modern materials and up-to-day universal technology. The results speak for themselves. The Pacific Coastal Homes are dangerous, because they can awaken envy and an intense desire for living. Book jacket.
