Cabin Fever: Enchanting Cabins, Shacks, and Hideaways

While many of us have been craving more social interaction in recent times, the idea of a remote cabin hasn't lost any of its allure. For those dreaming of the perfect getaway, Cabin Fever will certainly inspire. As the book points out, contemporary trends have gone beyond the archetypal rustic construction: consciously designed, restrained interiors predominate, with open space and the environmental context privileged.

From mountain to forest to desert to beach, the largeformat hardcover book is filled with beautiful, evocative imagery that showcases this new wave of modern hideaways, some of which are conceived by architects and designers like BIG, Sigurd Larsen and Norm Architects. At the same time, the coverage doesn't neglect the engineering and design elements that allow the structures to be gently embedded into their surroundings. The discussion of the history and culture of huts and shelters is welcome, as is the material on off-grid escapes and new trends such as the prefabricated cabin movement.
