A home on the magnificent Pacific coast can be a wondrous place, indeed, but building against the ever-changing sea presents unique architectural and design challenges.Pacific Houses presents over twenty homes from across the Pacific rim -- from California to Mexico to Australia to Japan and back again -- each engaged in fascinating dialog with their waterfront locale. Combining seascapes with new trends in home building and ornamentation, these exquisite homes reflect remarkable collaboration between architect, landscaper, and homeowner, and bring together dozens of delightful examples of how to enjoy life on ocean's edge.

Miami has long been known for its miles of sandy beaches and for the melting pot of Hispanic immigrants who reside in neighborhoods extending inland from Miami Beach. But the third most popular American city after Los Angeles and New York is also famous for its unique contemporary architecture. Miami Houses is a beautifully produced and copiously illustrated tour of residential design by renowned architects such as Ramon Pacheco, Pablo Uribe, Barry Sugarman, Alain Schuhmann, and Santiago Bernal. The dazzling re-designs of houses in the landmark Art Deco District and the distinctive Latin-inspired interior design on view here have succeeded in making innovation the hallmark of Miami style. Includes an introduction and helpful captions.

A further title in the brick series, USA is a pictorial journey across the vast territory of the United States. The varied landscapes and regions come together in an impressive way, while at the same time the reader is deeply moved by the multiplicity of culture—the famous "melting pot" of countries—that shaped the character and the progressive spirit of this country. Nature, architecture, culture, and people are the strokes of color in this rainbow, which in its entirety results in a harmonic whole.
