Mediterranean lifestyle is the envy of the world. A fusion of interior style, glorious landscapes and bold architectural design, Mediterranean Modern presents twenty-five of the most desirable houses of the region in a format that speaks directly to the increasingly design-savvy. It presents twenty-five houses – from southern Spain to northern Africa, from Greece to the Balearic Islands – which, though differing in their locations and styles, are united by clean lines, open-plans and seamless indoor-outdoor living. With fabulous photographs and work by internationally established architects such as Alberto Campo Baeza and Rudy Ricciotti, the design and content of this book will inspire anyone interested in interior design, domestic architecture, DIY, or contemporary building. Dominic Bradbury is an established design writer. He is the author of several books, including Barns, New Country House, The Iconic House and New Natural Home.

This substantial book features one hundred of the most spectacular interiors across the world, spanning the entire 20th century to the present day. It includes interiors assembled by artists and fashion designers, architects, interior and set-designers, bringing together diverse design talents from Piero Fornasetti and Coco Chanel to Alvar Aalto, Marc Newson and Matthew Williamson. Twenty short profiles are presented in the introduction, with a single iconic photograph and a concise, informative text; eighty are profiled at length, in chronological order, with superb colour photography and texts recounting the stories of these remarkable designs. Representing every style from minimalism, Art Nouveau and Neo-traditional to Gesamtkunstwerk creations that defy definition, these iconic interiors are elegant compositions that endure as lasting creations.

Описание:
High up in mountains around the world, houses that have long been constructed following local building traditions are being transformed. Intrepid young architects using new technologies and materials are refashioning these traditions, with results that range from gemutlich (cozy) retreats to glamorous hilltop villas. Houses are presented in three sections: Cabin, Chalet, and Villa. Photographs of each house reveal its architecture, interior design, and striking setting, while plans provide an additional layer of information. Texts tell the story of how the dwelling was sited to make the most of its location, how new construction innovations were introduced, and how these solutions provide a comfortable space from which families can enjoy the great outdoors. While our cities become ever more concentrated, there is an increasing desire to experience nature as directly as possible. From the Highlands of Scotland to the breathtaking summits of the Alps and the adrenaline-fuelled mountain resorts of California, Mountain Modern is a journey to the most stunning homes of our planet.
