Living on the Water
Elizabeth McMülian
Water is an element whose qualities have entranced and inspired cultures for millennia. Drawing on its spiritual and purifying power, builders throughout the ages have used water's elusive and reflective properties to create places of magical beauty, where heart, mind and body can unite in tranquil repose. From the majestic temples of the Far East to the riverside log cabins of the American northeast, these waterside buildings capture and enhance everyday life in extraordinary ways.

Living on the Water

Water is an element whose qualities have entranced and inspired cultures for millennia. Drawing on its spiritual and purifying power, builders throughout the ages have used water's elusive and reflective properties to create places of magical beauty, where heart, mind and body can unite in tranquil repose. From the majestic temples of the Far East to the riverside log cabins of the American northeast, these waterside buildings capture and enhance everyday life in extraordinary ways.
Nowhere is the experience of water more vivid, more private and more enlightening than in the home, where, closed to the outside world, vistas into infinite horizons and the play of water across surfaces imbue the inhabitants and their internal world with the greatest possibilities for relaxation, contemplation and inspiration. Whether on a precipitous cliff top or by a gently murmuring stream, houses by water are animated like no other.
This sumptuous book gains access to some of the worid's most beautiííil residences in some of the world's most glorious settings. From Tahiti and Hawaii to the California coast and the Mediterranean - some thirty-five houses located by rivers, ports, waterfalls, ponds and oceans reveal the very special relationship the inhabitants have with their natural surroundings. Modem all-glass houses and neo-Renaissance villas, clapboard mills and moated castles - all have very different connections to the water, and all contain a variety of experiences within.
Presented in full-colour with stunning pictures by internationally acclaimed photographers. Living on the fVater\s a unique glimpse behind the locked doors of these wonderful private residences. The introduction considers the lifestyle afforded by living on water, and texts on each house expose the qualities of its design, its setting and its occupants. With special pages devoted to exceptional features of houses by water - from terraces to lookouts, from sea-worthy materials to pools - this spectacular publication journeys into the nature of human experience itself IVith 2^0 colour iHustraiiom
