From the bay of Saint-Tropez to the remote waters of Antarctica, a new generation of superyachts is reshaping the culture of contemporary seafaring. Whether maritime retreat or architectural statement, these incredible yachts are extending the frontiers of design, luxury and engineering.

Superyacht takes you on a rare, immersive journey inside the most exceptional vessels on the water today – boats that embody the highest expression of form, materiality and innovation. Through sculptural exteriors and meticulously conceived interiors, Superyacht reveals the extraordinary skill and artisanship elevating every element of these floating residences: the cabins and salons, spas and beach clubs, staterooms and terraces.

Unfolding through sumptuous photography, the story is told through in-depth interviews with the world’s leading design studios, including Nuvolari Lenard, Winch Design, Sinot, Liaigre and Reymond Langton; interior designers such as Bryan O’Sullivan and M2atelier; and master shipyards including the Ferretti Group, Feadship, Tankoa, Sanlorenzo, Damen, Admiral and Lürssen.

A beautifully produced edition with over 300 large-format images, Superyacht is the definitive survey of the aesthetics and ambitions driving the new era of luxury yacht design.

The penthouse is the ultimate expression of contemporary urban living. As much a state of mind as a physical space, the word ‘penthouse’ evokes excitement, drama, exclusivity and escape. First emerging a century ago with the dawn of the skyscraper, the penthouse has become the aspirational talisman of the modern global city.

Penthouse brings you inside incredible apartments such as the $235 million One Hyde Park Penthouse in London, New York’s Central Park Tower – the world’s highest residential building – and the supertall Steinway Tower. It also surveys a different side to penthouse style, from coastal residences in Hong Kong, Cape Town and the Gulf to mid-century penthouses in the Hollywood Hills.

A stunning photographic journey in a luxury, fabric-bound edition, Penthouse is an exploration of style at the extremities, told through interviews with the most talented designers working today – designers who are creating spaces that define and defy the frontiers of urban living. 

The beach house exerts an irresistible emotional pull on us. The idea of a house on a faraway shore, or a remote cliffside redoubt, represents freedom, escape, luxury, and the romance of a simpler, more sensual way of life. From the Maldives to Malibu, Beach House takes readers on a stunning photographic journey through the world’s most beautiful and stylish coastal homes, told through interviews with leading architects and interior designers. Explore the barefoot luxury of African cabanas and Balearic chic; discover Olson Kundig’s contemporary architecture in the Pacific Northwest, and Tropical Modernism in Brazil and Costa Rica.

Featured properties include Su Casa – the remarkable Mission Revival beachfront residence in Puerto Rico restored by Champalimaud Design; and the iconic Casa Piscina del Cielo in Mexico by Zozaya Arquitectos. Experience a wild cliffside casale on the remote Italian island of Alicudi, a super-stylish Mykonos villa by Hubert Zandberg, and an Indian Ocean hideaway by superyacht designers Winch. With over 250 beautiful colour images in a large-format cloth-bound edition, Beach House is the essential global survey of the world’s most seductive and stylish seaside residences.
