Living near the sea promises an intense experience of nature. The view of waves breaking on the shore or of the vast horizon behind steep cliffs determines the alignment of the building. In this book, these are the constants that constitute the basis of the various solutions that distinguish the residences presented.

Sunsets and spectacular cloud formations are very present on the interior, while balconies, terraces and winter gardens serve as elevated lookout points

Pallets are a universal symbol of the globalised world. The properties of this transport platform—standardisation, stability, simplicity and internationality—are carried over into the work of architects and designers who use pallets as the material for their own creations.

On the Shore, Seaside Living shows the variety of possibilities that can emerge from the creative interaction with an inconspicuous everyday article. The aspects of their simple design can be expressed by stacking pallets or contradicted in fragile structures.

All around the world furniture items and interior design systems are created along with entire buildings based on the predetermined proportions of pallets. Sometimes the mass product is also demolished and only used in parts: for example, when bisected pallets serve as sideboards or individual boards are recycled as facade cladding.
