Surf Shacks 3

The best surf homes rarely follow a fixed style. Some are carefully designed retreats, others are improvised hideaways, but all tend to reflect the people who live in them. Surf Shacks Vol. 3 continues Matt Titone’s ongoing look at those spaces, bringing together homes shaped as much by creativity and community as by life near the water.

The third book in the series travels across California, Hawaii, Portugal, Panama, and other coastal destinations, visiting surfers, artists, designers, and builders whose homes offer a personal take on seaside living. The selection ranges from modest cabins and handcrafted shelters to more architectural residences, showing how surf culture can influence materials, interiors, and everyday routines without settling into a single aesthetic.

Photography and personal profiles give the book more depth than a conventional collection of interiors. Rather than presenting each property as an isolated design object, it connects the spaces to the people who created them and the landscapes around them. That makes it as much a portrait of contemporary surf culture as a source of architecture and travel inspiration.
