Living with White

by Gail Abbott, Mark Scott (Photographer)

"White Hot" celebrates living in a hot climate where the use of colour is as intense as the heat. White is the backdrop while walls, floors, doors and furniture painted in vibrant blues and greens, hot reds, magenta pinks, terracottas and oranges create the drama and interest. Houses in hot climates from the Mediterranean to the Gulf Coast have been adapted to withstand the heat, and chic, modern, uncluttered interiors create oases of cool and calm. This stunning book provides glimpses into real homes designed for life in a hot climate, from beachside villas on the South African coastline to the chic style of Miami.
