Living Under the Sun

The tropics are a way of life. Embracing outdoor surroundings as much as indoor possibilities, tropical houses have become a source of new impulses for architecture, interiors, and furniture design worldwide.

The tropics are not only an address but also a way of life. Living Under the Sun is a stunning book showcasing modern tropical interiors and architecture that meld local design tradition and bold innovation in compelling ways.

More than anywhere else on earth, the tropics demand an architecture that can bridge the gap between what is outside—sea, sand, sky, and sun—and what lies within. The villas, family homes, artists’ ateliers, beach shacks, and urban pieds-à-terre featured in the book embrace their outdoor surroundings to offer fresh, often surprising indoor possibilities that are ideally suited to their climates.

Living Under the Sun exemplifies how to create tranquil settings to soothe our hectic lives, regardless of our geographical location featuring projects from across the globe including homegrown projects from Australia.
