Ocean Villas

Sumptuously illustrated, Ocean Villas is a compilation of exemplary sea- side residences designed by an international group of award-winning architects. The villas chosen for this volume highlight and heighten the experience of being among some of the most breathtaking and secluded natural scenery in the world, even while retaining the highest level of modern amenities and comfort. They all display a strikingly contempo- rary design language that takes full account of their context in the tropi- cal climate. While mostly situated on islands in the south of Thailand, the architectural ideas and inspirations contained within this volume are relevant to all buildings in the tropics.
