The fifth volume .in a series devoted to the use of design materials, this vividly illustrated book explores the wonder that light can perform on interior spaces. The book shows how designers and architects use light to vitalize objects, surfaces, and environments throughout the home. As architect Ricardo Legorreta states, “Light and architecture go together,” and Dr. Carol Soucek King brilliantly reveals the importance of lighting design as an essential and often unifying element. In these resplendent pages, we see how natural and artificial light, in the past used to perform a sole function, now has a multitude of new roles. Dr. King visits over twenty-five home settings of international lighting designers that represent a complete palette of styles and applications, each reflecting the complex requirements of lighting myriad spaces.

Although, living by the coast can prove to be difficult by posing demands on the house.

Presented are houses located in the nine countries that are located near the Eastern Coasts: Sweden, Finland, Russian, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Germany and Denmark.
