Explore the world’s most stunning coastlines in this breathtaking collection of gardens by the sea Creating gardens in harmony with their environment is a key aspect of garden design today. Nowhere is this more apparent than in gardens created on our coastlines, whether that be atop a rocky Mediterranean cliffside, tucked in a sheltered bay on Britain’s south coast, or on the edge of a sandy beach in Australia. Rooted in their location and offering unforgettable water views, coastal gardens embody an atmosphere of tranquillity, beauty, and an intenseconnection with nature. The Coastal Garden invites readers to explore 48 extraordinary private gardens set along the world’s most iconic coastlines. These verdant spaces represent a broad variety of terrains, climates, and garden styles – from Bernard Trainor’s design for a surfing family, overlooking the waves in sunny California, to Ulf Nordfjell’s thoughtful, rambling garden on the southern coast of Sweden. The gardens address one of four different contexts for coastal environments: gardens atop rocky cliffs, planting for resiliency, framing ocean views, and gardens on the beach. The four chapters open with an exploratory text on the theme by writer and editor Sorrel Everton. Each garden feature is then brought to life through striking, large-scale color photographs and a short informative text, also written by Everton. Descriptive image captions provide further context, including planting information and special design details. Along with in-depth garden features, an introduction by acclaimed plantsman and designer Nigel Dunnett offers insights into both the natural obstacles and incredible benefits of coastal gardens. A garden directory at the back, organized geographically, allows for easy reference. Beautifully produced and filled with inspiration, The Coastal Garden will transport home gardeners, professional designers, and armchair travelers to these exceptional green spaces overlooking our oceans and seas. Featured garden designers include: Paul Bangay, Louis Benech, Isabel Duprat, Jennifer Gay, Daniel Hinkley, Phillip Johnson, Raymond Jungles, Ron Lutsko, Jean Mus, Watson + Pellacini, Rees Roberts...

Casa Santa Fe: Design, Style, Arts, and Tradition Photographs by Melba Levick, Text by Rubén G. Mendoza Presented here are houses to dream of and dream in—a luminous celebration of the finest examples of the Santa Fe Style from the eighteenth century to today, in this high-desert mecca of artists, craftspeople, artisans, and designers. Desert hues, natural materials, thick hand-plastered walls, and adobe brick construction are hallmarks of the Santa Fe Style, which is as much an expression in architecture, interior design, art, and crafts as it is a way of life. Rooted in a sense of earthy comfort inspired by its history, the surrounding desert, and Native American and Hispanic design influences, the style has a timeless appeal and vibrant ongoing life that has resulted in these extraordinary homes. With features such as eighteenth-century peeled vigas, tin chandeliers, romantic iron sconces, and hand-hewn wood-beamed ceilings, each house is a rich yet harmonious invitation that will engage the senses and speak to the soul. Beyond the houses, the writer and photographer spotlight those details and spaces that together convey the magic of this very special place, including patios and gardens; fireplaces, kivas, and hornos; ceramics; Native American arts; cabinets and trasteros; folk art; and weaving. Casa Santa Fe is the definitive sourcebook for architects, designers, builders, homeowners, and interior decorators seeking to expand their visual repertoire of historically defined and classically inspired architectural details and interior appointments. About The Author Melba Levick is a Los Angeles–based photographer with more than sixty books to her name, including The Spanish Style House...
