Patterned on previous issues in this successful series devoted to Mediterranean houses, this is the second volume to highlight homes on the Costa Brava, a particularly affluent coastal region of Spain. Houses were selected for the book by the respected Spanish architect and author Xavier Guell. Some twenty outstanding residences are highlighted, most constructed within the past five years. Architects and laypersons building or buying a coastal vacation home will find new insight and perspective on the architecture of gracious holiday homes in these pages.
