Spanish Houses by Patricia Espinosa de los Monteros Rosillo,joaquin Fernandez de Santaella Pdf
Vivid colors, rustic simplicity, and the textural contrasts of wood, terra-cotta, and stucco are the hallmarks of the casual elegance of classic Spanish houses. The Spanish approach to residential style is a mixture of luxury and rusticity-wooden beams complement whitewashed ceilings, and worn leather furniture is set off against Moorish arches and wrought ironwork. The vibrant photos and detailed, practical text explore all the elements that become integral parts of a living space, from windows to doors, floors to ceilings, furniture to accessories and even gardens. From romantic homes in Spain's woodsy sierras to grand manors in the southern plains, many of these estates boast unusual features like hidden courtyard gardens or secluded balconies. None are ever open to the public.

From the creator of the Sundance look, Mediterranean Design brings home an extremely popular design style that combines the romantic and worldly appeal of Morocco, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Croatia and France. This eclectic mix of natural elements and vibrant colours has influenced architecture and design worldwide. The magnificent homes depicted in this book are located in California, Mexico, Texas, Morocco, Paris and more.
Vibrant, informal and, above all, refreshingly simple, Mediterranean style is synonymous with easy living. From Tangiers to Tuscany, an imaginative sense of colour and pattern prevails, allied to a sensitive use of natural materials and local traditions. Floors are natural wood or terracotta tiled; ceilings have exposed beams; and the natural imperfections of brick and plaster walls might be highlighted through the lightest of distemper washes. This is a world suffused with warmth, where the dividing line between indoor and outdoor living is seamless.
