Waterside Modern by Dominic Bradbury
Published by Thames & Hudson
There's a certain restorative, healing power that being near water has on all of us, right? Whether it is an ionic clarity of the air around the water, or simply the calm and peaceful nature of an endless sightline of blue - we are almost all drawn to the water in some way. Some of us are lucky enough to live in these waterside locales, others of us get an opportunity to visit - but for those of us who can't escape to the water in our real day-to-day lives, we can now take a first-class departure to the sea in Waterside Modern.
Written by Dominic Bradbury, with gorgeous photography by Richard Powers, there are more than 400 illustrations of waterside living - from modern, concrete beach houses in New Zealand:

Each of the homes in Waterside Modern is looked at not only from the outside, but from the inside. You're introduced to the house the same way you would be if you were to happen upon it from the beach, and then invited in to look around, one room at a time. The décor ranges from layered and transitional with colors of the surrounding waterside brought indoors:

to much more neutral palettes of white and gray in one of my favorite houses in the book, Kas Dorrie, located in the Dutch territory island of Bonaire:

The houses are impressive, but the views - oh the views. When you have a window to the world as picturesque as these, who could ever leave home?
