Caribbean Style

by Suzanne Slesin

Published 27 January 1986
The Caribbean. The place immediately brings to mind specific colours, arranged in a specific way. Blue above, blue below. White for the beach, green for the coconut palms. Dominating all, the gold of the sun. Caribbean Style adds to that palette by recreating in over 600 spectacular colour photographs and an illuminating text, the houses, gardens and lifestyle of this exotic region. Newly available in paperback, this lavish book offers a proviously unseen view of the islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, St Barthelemy, Antigua. Nevis, Montserrat, Barbados, Haiti and Jamaica. It highlights plantation houses, striking contemporary houses with inviting gardens, and colourful town houses. On each page there are eyecatching ideas for design and decoration, and an architectural notebook provides plans and information on different types of houses on the various islands. This captivating portrait of the Caribbean explodes with an intense profusion of images, colours and ideas: you will almost feel the gentle breezes, inhale the soft fragrance of tropical flowers and luxuriate in the warmth of the sun.
