This original book on interior design presents the best examples from far-flung locations around the tropics. The book demonstrates how exotic sun oundings can be enhanced through simple touches and combined with pared-down furnishings. Six chapters cover the gamut of tropical-minimal design and architecture--"living, dining, bathing, sleeping, and relaxing outdoors--"with ideas that can be adapted to other climates.
