The Mediterranean Home: Residential Architecture and Interiors with a Southern Touch

Description

With their understated beauty and holistic design, Mediterranean homes are a perennial source of inspiration. The Mediterranean Home has an ongoing influence on residential architecture and interior design: from classical to rural styles to more grounded spaces that interweave form and function. Blending the inside and the outside, bringing together traditional features with contemporary elements, Mediterranean houses connect with their environments and the local culture. The Mediterranean Home looks at architecture, at interior design, decoration and furniture, at how vegetation and rock provide both shade and colorful warmth. It showcases old buildings converted into modern homes in various regions and coastal hinterlands and celebrates the unique Mediterranean aesthetic that continues to inspire a sense of home and comfort around the globe. Review: In regard to the people complaining about the text on the spine… - This book is published by a European (German) publisher. Books printed in Europe most often have text on spines that runs from bottom to top (reading direction). So it’s opposite what you see in the US. So it’s not a mistake and it’s not anything wrong with the book, it’s simply the fact that maybe you’ve not seen that publishers outside the US print their book spines different than US publishers. IMO this doesn’t detract from it being a beautiful coffee table book—the book is huge and substantial in text and images. Well worth the cost! Review: Fast delivery arrived pristine condition - Perfectly delivered. Was VERY carefully packaged. Thank you!!!!
