irresistible notion of carving out a romantic rural refuge in a
typically rustic setting, beside a beach or meadow, in the mountains, or
other pristine environments. This book brings together the infinite
number of possibilities of beautiful and creative cabin designs set in
idyllic locations where access to nature is unimpeded. There's a growing
trend for living in a small getaway, but that needn't mean living in
cramped, unimaginative spaces. Cabins: Hidden Places, Stylish Spaces
showcases the challenges of how small floor plans and compact interiors
can be overcome with inventive modern design solutions and the
innovative use of technology. Once-basic structures are now evolving
into fancy dwellings that offer off-grid living with low impact on the
environment, all the while cocooning the occupants in differing levels
of comfort, from rustic formats with basic necessities, to some which
offer facilities for luxury living. From artist studios to alpine
shelters, beachside shacks to rural retreats, this book is an endless
source of inspiration for armchair architects and those seeking to
create a peaceful sanctuary that fuses distilled ingenuity with
eco-friendly style.
