What if the feeling you only get on vacation…
was how your home felt every day?
"You cannot use your vacation as a way to meaningfully restore health and well-being. It cannot be done over a few weekends or a few weeks a year. Your everyday life and habitat is the biggest influence on your health. Your kitchen should promote your health. Your bathroom should be your spa. Your living room should lower your stress levels. Your bedroom should comfort you. Heal where you live.
The Alonsos give you the tools and inspiration to create your own living ecosystem for longevity—where light, air and materials actively restore you. In this expert-level book, architecture becomes medicine."
-Brent Ridge, MD, geroscientist, founder of Beekman 1802, former ambassador to the Global Wellness Institute
"Francisca and Antonio have written the rare design book that's really about how to live. Vacation Style Living makes a compelling case that the space around you shapes your health, your relationships, and your presence—and that you don't have to wait for two weeks a year to feel fully alive. A must-read for anyone who's ever come home and wished it felt different."
-Derek Coburn, Author of USA Today bestseller Let's Retire Retirement
"In Vacation Style Living, Francisca and Antonio Alonso redefine what a home is truly meant to be. They remind us that a home should nurture life rather than simply house it — becoming a sanctuary that supports well-being, strengthens family and friends connections, and brings peace into everyday living. This book is an invitation to rethink what home can do for your life — and a blueprint for creating a place that truly supports the people who live in it."
-Edna Gelsinger, Organizational Effectiveness Consultant & Executive Leadership Coach
When you walk into your home after a stressful day, does it bring calm back into your life?
Experienced architects and builders Francisca and Antonio Alonso have spent over three decades specializing in residential architecture and construction, witnessing how often homes are designed for curb appeal—not for life. Drawing on their international experience and affinity for the Mediterranean lifestyle, they created the Vacation Style Living® philosophy.
Francisca and Antonio realized that most people only feel truly relaxed, joyful, and at peace when they are on vacation. But why reserve that joy and peace for a few weeks a year? A home should be more than a shelter. It should be a sanctuary that elevates your health and wellness.
This book teaches you how to reframe your thinking about the space around you, giving you the vision and tools to build a custom home that captures the joy of vacation and brings it into your life every single day.
