濱海之屋

Bought this for a coffee table book but ended up reading every caption about connecting interior and outdoor spaces. The section on sliding doors that open a living room right onto the deck gave me two ideas for our own place.

The photos of how the interiors flow right out onto the water views are what sold me—I keep flipping back to the same few pages for ideas. It's the kind of book you leave on the coffee table and everyone picks up.

I bought this after renovating our coastal cottage and the chapters on connecting interior rooms to the outdoor view gave me actual layout ideas, not just pretty pictures. The writing walks you through each project room by room so you understand why the furniture sits where it does.
