Tropical Houses

Containing over 400 colour photographs of houses in tropical regions that span the globe, this introduction to various residential styles and construction methods highlights the work of both prominent and emerging architects. In Central and South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and Australia and New Zealand, indigenous materials are used to create distinctive housing designs that merge with the landscape. Interior spaces are designed and decorated to evoke nature. This book provides proof that the tropics, indoor and outdoor living combine to awaken the senses and bring you closer to the natural world.
