Modern Tropical

Description

Warm, inviting, embracing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle with a touch of exotic tropical tropical homes, it is a dream come true.

Contemporary tropical residential architecture has evolved from being a geographically specific local aesthetic to being a source of inspiration for the world’s great modern architects and designers. Located in exotic locations, with pools, lush greenery, colorful gardens, these houses define a way of life. Often elegant and neat, the houses serve as models of smart and beautiful design with plenty of ideas for homeowners who don’t necessarily live in a tropical or subtropical climate, but who want to have some of that appeal and sensitivity in their own home.

This book presents some of the most innovative interpretations of the genre in the past five years by internationally recognized architects and interior decorators, such as Tadao Ando, ​​as well as the work of highly talented young newcomers, including those born in Germany, Alexis Dornier, based in Bali, and Roof Arquitectos de México. The selected residences span the globe, from the southern United States, the Caribbean, and tropical regions of Latin America, to Southeast Asia, northern Australasia, and Africa. Modern Tropical explores the exotic material, color, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic options of some of the most beautiful residential properties in contemporary architecture. Each home is presented with impressive indoor and outdoor photographs and orientation plans, giving readers an insight into the rapid symbiosis between nature and refuge, indoor and outdoor, and rustic and polished, in a definitive examination of the tropical modern life.
