“Sweeping concrete walls and huge glass walls, rectilinear blocks and infinity pools, steel rails and sliding doors . . . these are the stars of the striking, delightful, always airy, beautiful yet sometimes stark buildings in this fascinating book.”—Image Interiors

Endless sun, sparkling sea, crystalline sky—these are the key elements of Mediterranean living. From southern Spain to northern Africa, from Greece to the Côte d’Azur, here are twenty-five contemporary houses from around the Mediterranean Sea.

The book includes work by internationally established architects, such as Alberto Campo de Baeza and Carlos Ferrater, and houses created by a number of the region’s rising stars. The houses differ in their locations and styles but are united by clean lines, open floor plans, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

A fusion of interior style and architecture, of glorious natural landscapes and bold man-made forms, Mediterranean Modern will appeal to design aficionados as well as practicing architects and designers.
