Description

Piet Boon Beach illustrates two extraordinary beach houses, both created by Dutch designer Piet Boon. The first house, located in the tropics, was built by taking into account the island's windy nature, which allows the house to be cooled down in a natural way. The palm leaf strewn gazebo leads you immediately onto the sands of an azure-blue ocean, nature's largest swimming pool. The second house, with its remarkable red cedar finished roof is able to withstand any wintry shower, and as the house is tucked away in the Zeeland dunes, the inhabitants are able to enjoy a cosy veranda fireplace well into the autumn or even winter. The book provides a rich source of information for anyone fascinated by design, living space and Piet Boon's style.
