Description
Surf Shack: Laid-Back Living by the Water by Nina Freudenberger captures the relaxed, design-forward spirit of coastal living through an intimate look inside the homes of surfers around the world. Described by Vanity Fair as “cabin porn goes coastal,” this hardcover design book explores the bungalows, trailers, cabins, and beach houses where surfers retreat after long days on the waves. More than a décor showcase, it reveals how surf culture shapes interiors, architecture, and personal space.
Readers are invited to peek inside homes belonging to longtime surfing enthusiasts and dedicated newcomers, where the aesthetic reflects not just a sport but an entire way of life. Notable figures such as Blake Mycoskie of TOMS, hotelier Sean MacPherson, and Gypset author Julia Chaplin demonstrate how their coastal homes embrace casual ease, natural materials, and a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors.
With vibrant photography spanning Malibu, the Rockaways, Japan, Australia, Melbourne, and New York City, the book highlights bright beaches and thoughtful design details. Praised by Architectural Digest as “a colorful tour of some of the most unique surfer abodes around the world,” Surf Shack captures the soulful, aspirational lifestyle of living by the water. Hardcover and 273 pages.
