By Arian Mostaedi
publisher Links International (Bookwise International in NZ & Aust.) NZ $48

If you are looking at building a holiday home on the coast then this is a book that you and your architect must have.
256 pages of full colour photographs, plans and sketches (440 in all) of gorgeous coastal houses, 24 properties in all, including one from New Zealand, Pete Bossley’s House in Bay of Islands, along with two from Australia but they are from all around the world including France, Spain, Brazil, USA, Mexico, Canada, Peru, Norway, Spain, Chile, the UK and Ireland.

It is interesting to observe the fundamental role played by the sea regardless of the size, style or location of these homes. The author lives in California and is widely published in this field with more than 20 books to his credit.
