Description: The aim of this book is to show, by means of 23 examples of private houses of different types, the variety of forms of architectural expression in the Balearic islands, a geographical context with international relevance and interest. Preceding each example is a short text by way of commentary, bringing out the most significant features of the house, together with basic documentation in the form of plans, elevations and sections. The present volume maintains and extends the line initiated by Editorial Gustavo Gili in 1986 with the book Mediterranean Houses. Costa Brava, by Xavier Guell and Lluis Casals. Marti Lucena and Salvador Roig, both of them architects, have written the introduction to the present study.
