Mar 07: As a new season arrives, renowned design and lifestyle publisher gestalten announces the launch of Surf Shacks Vol. 3, the highly anticipated third installment in its bestselling series celebrating coastal creativity, architecture, and surf culture.
Arriving at a time when intentional living and finding sanctuary in everyday spaces have become increasingly important, the new volume continues the beloved series by exploring the homes and lifestyles of creative surfers around the world.
Celebrating Coastal Living and Creative Spaces
Surf Shacks Vol. 3 introduces a new lineup of surfers, designers, and builders whose spaces reflect the spirit of coastal life. The book goes beyond profiling individuals who live by the rhythm of the tide, spotlighting the architects and creative minds shaping the next generation of surf-inspired dwellings.
Blending architecture, lifestyle, and community, the third volume highlights how surfing culture continues to influence design and living spaces across coastal communities.
Reflecting on the philosophy behind the book, Matt Titone, contributor to the series, writes:
“My hope is that somewhere in these pages you feel a spark—an invitation to follow what makes you feel most alive, to shape your own version of home, and to build a life—wave by wave, brick by brick—that is entirely, unapologetically your own.”
