"Following the success of Conrad White's previous book about Blakstad, this new book collects the new and most recent creations of the architecture studio founded by Rolf Blakstad and developed later by his sons Rolf and Nial. This 336-page book shows, through some incredible photographs by Conrad White, some of the most representative houses that the Blakstad family has designed and constructed in the island of Ibiza. Rolph Blackstad exhaustively studied Ibizan architecture when it was still a living millennial tradition, with peasant builders working with rules passed down by word of mouth from father to son. The architect's study of these builders formed the basis of his research, design and building for more than 40 years. This book is the latest tribute to Blackstad's work in the wake of his recent death"--Publisher's description.

Ibiza is about beauty, not just the natural beauty of the landscape, the coast and mountains, the abundance of nature, but also the beauty in the spirit of the island. Water is a precious resource in Ibiza, and continuously pouring it into a lawn, or plants that need a lot of water, is both wasteful and time-consuming. If you want an abundant, lovely garden despite the Mediterranean heat and arid landscape, your best bet is to seek out drought-resistant garden plants. Not only will you save water and energy, but they are far more likely to survive long term and create a garden with character and complexity.
