This lavishly photographed monograph, Mountain to Coast, showcases 20 magnificent residences designed by the renowned American firm Kelly|Stone Architects. These pages feature stunning scenic retreats that are crafted for discerning clients who also want respite from life's daily stresses or have a legacy home that will be passed down for generations. Set amid beautiful mountain landscapes and coastal climates from across California, Colorado, and Nevada in the south, Canada in the north, and all the way to the beaches of Hawaii in the Pacific, these award-winning homes are bespoke, timeless in character, and innovative in the way they reflect the unique lifestyles, stylistic preferences, and aspirations of the people who inhabit them. The firm's residential architecture and interior designs focus on being sustainable and minimising environmental impact by prioritising energy efficiency, integrating responsible materials, and advancing building science, as well as creating beautiful custom spaces that honour the sites, landscapes, and climates where the houses reside. Mountain to Coast reveals how Kelly|Stone Architects deftly weaves creativity with reality.
