Fascination Seaside Living: Architecture & Design

A journey to the world’s most beautiful houses at the shore. This volume serves as a survey to rediscover and redefine life by the sea, presenting selected projects that illustrate planning and construction possibilities under the special coastal conditions. It showcases creative designs and spatial concepts from around the world for dreamlike, relaxed living between water, air and earth. Living by the sea, framed by dunes, cliffs or wide beaches, is a life in sync with nature, and the buildings reflect that imprint. Beach houses must shield against wind and waves, but above all offer room for experiencing nature.

The book emphasizes how architecture can balance protection with open, nature-centered living, inviting readers to see how sea-adjacent homes translate longing into space and form. It is authored by Chris Van Uffelen and was published by Braun Publishing in 2024, with 220 pages in hardcover.
