Description
This is the ultimate inspirational design book for the dream holiday home. A House on the Water blends practical advice with spectacular original photography which will be sure to inspire and inform anyone who already lives at the water's edge or simply dreams of it. Living in a waterside house is an almost universal desire. We are naturally drawn to the water - both for recreation and relaxation - and sites on the water sell quickly. But building a house on the water is full of design and construction challenges: site conditions can be difficult (rocky, sandy, hilly), and the house is constantly exposed to the elements (high wind, heavy rain, storm surge, glare and extreme sun, salt and corrosion). You can't just take a house that would work in a suburban street and drop it at the water's edge.
