"A stunning photographic collection of mountain houses around the world that incorporate the surrounding ranges and vistas into their designs, from the author of Surf Shack and Bibliostyle. From Morocco to Patagonia, and Brazil to New Hampshire, interior designer Nina Freudenberger presents some of the most spectacular homes hidden in mountainous regions around the world, including modern lodges, rustic hideaways, hillside chalets, and more. Explore mountain living at its best in fall, winter, spring, and summer with 200 beautiful full-color images of each home. Among the twenty homes featured in this book, you'll find an isolated villa nestled in Switzerland's Engadin Valley; a former U.S. Forest Service cabin in California's San Gabriel Mountains; a modern concrete getaway just outside of Mexico City; and a renovated home in the Catskills built as a hotel for artists in the late 1800s. With simply designed interiors that keep the focus on the view just outside the window, these homes epitomize the tranquility and isolation we seek in the wilderness and the design ingenuity that mountain life demands"--
