《当代别墅设计》通过新颖现代的家具、神奇的门厅、最新的再利用房间、开放的天花、定制的楼层平面图和独特的灯饰使沙滩和山顶别墅更加现代化——其中所有元素都没有左右定义一所别墅所必需的永不过时的魅力和衡量尺度。

作者Molly Hyde English曾就此主题著有两本书籍：《营地与别墅》（2000年，Gibbs-Smith出版社）以及《古典别墅》（2007年，Gibbs-Smith出版社）。她自己便拥有着营地和别墅，而这正是打造精致装潢的住所和生活化装饰的主体——被多本国家级刊物采访报道，她维护着一个网站和社交软件Instagram的订阅量。而她的商店位于美国加利福尼亚州的拉古纳海滩。
Ryan Garvin是一位来自加利福尼亚南部的知名室内设计摄影师。他的作品总在大量国家级出版物和网络出版物上出现，从时尚家居杂志《Elle Decor 》到“Traditional Home”网站，而且他在社交软件Instagram也有相当的订阅量。

Contemporary Cottages updates beach and mountain cottages with fresh, modern appointments, magical entryways, updated and repurposed rooms, open ceilings, custom floor plans and unique lighting―all without disturbing the timeless charm and scale that defines a cottage.
