From the Inside Flap:

The fascinating and natural conditions of the coast, which are difficult to tackle, are the framework for these twenty-five projects scattered around the world. The owners use the cottages as second homes. Therefore, their use--which is different from a conventional residence--determines the important factors for each project. These houses are designed to accommodate occupants for short periods of time throughout the year, to house two or more family groups, or to serve as cabins that fulfill the basic needs for living.
