The epitome for relaxation, inspiration, luxury, and enjoyment of nature, dwellings at the shore are the embodiment of the ancient dream of living by the sea. Surrounded by dunes, cliffs, or expansive beaches, the luxury of a view of a never-ending horizon from one's own home feels like a perpetual vacation. Sunsets and spectacular cloud formations are just some of the views as patios, terraces and living rooms become front row seats accompanied by the constant sound of the waves as a background soundtrack. On the Shore. Seaside Living takes you on a journey to the world's most beautiful beach houses with a variety of architecture and designs to suit every taste and fulfill every residential desire. Minimalist, unadorned projects turn the attention to the landscape, while others indulge in a world of shapes and materials that reflect the surrounding context. Whether in the northern or southern hemisphere, in the West or in Asia, urban or rural, all residences presented here have one thing in common - the major role played by the sea as the main feature of each and every one of them.
