From Morocco to Patagonia and France to Korea, interior designer Nina Freudenberger presents some of the most spectacular and adventurous homes hidden in mountainous regions around the world, including modern lodges, rustic hideaways, minimalist abodes, hillside chalets, and more.
With over 200 striking images of these private beautiful homes and their surrounding landscape, you can explore mountain living at its best in every season. Among the twenty-one homes featured in this book, you'll find a villa nestled in Switzerland's Engadin Valley; a former U.S. Forest Service cabin converted to a family getaway in California's San Gabriel Mountains; a modern home built out of volcanic stone and concrete outside of Mexico City; and a historic stone chalet in Meribel, France.
With holistically designed interiors that keep the focus on the environment just outside the window, these homes epitomize the tranquility we seek in the wilderness and the design ingenuity and courageousness that mountain life inspires.
A photographic study of more than twenty houses and the mountain landscapes, from alpine forests to urban peaks, that embrace them.
Spanning continents and climates, the twenty homes presented in interior designer Nina Freudenberger's latest book challenge and expand the idea of what a mountain house might be. Artist retreats in Morocco's High Atlas and the snowy folds of the Engadine Valley in Switzerland speak to the long tradition of mountains spaces for contemplation and creation, while modernist masterworks in Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro expand the traditional image of log cabins and rustic chalets.
Depicted in over 200 images, these houses include brutalist lodges, clapboard cottages, and minimalist prisms set down among some of the world's most dramatic landscapes. In their spectacular diversity, they express the radical ingenuity and stunning creativity that the mountains have always inspired.
