The most forward-looking spaces designed for rustic living in the twenty-first century. Across the globe, architects are creating innovative houses for country living, reimagining the way we escape into the natural world. Some combine industrial materials like metal and concrete with traditional wood. Others create sophisticated essays in off-grid living, employing the most technologically ambitious green-living strategies. Still others place discreet structures on remote, almost-unbuildable locations.

This unique volume profiles new and recent projects that illustrate the inexhaustible potential of the modern house to enter into a dialogue with nature in sustainable yet stylish ways. The collection spans the globe, from the Pacific Northwest to the forests of Japan. Today’s architectural vanguard is represented, as well as established architects working at the forefront of twenty-first-century design, including Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Rick Joy, Olson Kundig, and Marcio Kogan. These rustic retreats — with comfortable and appealing modern interiors — will resonate with readers of shelter magazines, while the cutting-edge reputations of their architects will interest professionals and students.

Amazing Possibilities for Hoteliers and Designers Alike to Prove Their Ingenuity.

Converting abandoned buildings into cutting-edge hospitality destinations is a great way to offer guests authentic experiences and creative solutions. Some of today’s most dynamic, architecturally intriguing hotels are adaptive reuse projects showing that almost any building type can be turned into a temporary living space – from breweries to churches, from banks to offices, from castles to factories. The careful and respectful handling of the inherited substance and structure is as important as its creative extension. Whether through striking contrast, reinterpretation, or indeed both together, all featured projects are defined by an enthralling relationship between the old and the new.

- Fabrika Tbilisi in Georgia (MUA Multiverse Architecture)
- Old Mill Hotel in Belgrade, Serbia (GRAFT Architects)
- The Warehouse Hotel in Singapore (Zarch Collaboratives architecture studio)

Spanning all continents, Sublime Hideaways presents a selection of houses that inspire your next grand getaway.

Meet the starships of modern architecture from the last few decades and their futuristic antecedents. Plan your next trip with a view!

In this stylish and light-infused design book, Domino magazine contributor Nina Freudenberger and former domino photographer Brittany Ambridge offer a glimpse into 20 aspirational bungalows, coastal cabins, boat houses, and hideaways in California, Montauk, Baja, Australia, and more.

Surfing is more than just a recreational activity for its passionate followers — it has become a lifestyle embracing a sense of adventures, zen attitude, and, for many, life near the beach. This sensibility touches every part of their lives including the remarkable places they call home. Surf Shack profiles these spaces, highlighting rooms that prioritize communal socializing and break down barriers between indoors and outdoors, as well as the professional and amateur surfers that crafted them.

Featured surfers include a mix of professionals and serious hobbyists, including Sean MacPherson (whose father starred in Endless Summer and mother was a surf champion), pro longboarder Kassia Meador, surfboard distributor Mel Hayhoe, and furniture maker Mark Tuckey. Lush lifestyle photography shows just how sophisticated and inviting these homes are with personal accents (like handmade surf boards, cactus gardens, or Mexican blankets) juxtaposed with dreamy architectural details (outdoor showers, plunge pools, and skylights).

Just as readers bought Cabin Porn for the vicariousness of simple, rustic, small-space living, so, too, will readers come to this book for the laid-back lifestyle of shown in these homes.

These 40 tiny hotels from around the world are sure to provide an exceptional experience

These days getting away from it all also means escaping the mundane atmosphere of big resorts and cookie-cutter experiences. Whether you are searching for a truly unique getaway in a beautiful corner of the world or looking for inspiration when designing your own home, this book is bursting with stunning ideas and locales. The 40 hotels profiled have only a few rooms and you won’t find them in traditional travel guides. The breathtaking photography captures the hotel’s character, its architectural features, and the surrounding landscape. There are wilderness retreats such as Pumphouse Point in the middle of a Tasmanian lake and Mediterranean escapes such as Tainaron Blue, a stone tower in the Peloponnesian Islands. There are hidden gems in busy cities — Ottantotto Firenze in Florence, the Trunk House in Tokyo, and Los Angeles’s Hotel Covell; edge-of-the-world experiences like Deplar Farm in Iceland and Sheldon Chalet in Alaska; and peaceful desert solitude at Amangiri in Utah and Namibia’s Shipwreck Lodge.

This volume also features architectural splendours such as the cedar and adobe huts of Punta Caliza in Isla Holbox, Mexico, and Free Spirit Spheres, a group of circular treehouses in a forest on Vancouver Island. A valuable resource for the discriminating traveller, as well as a sourcebook for designers and architects, this collection of one-of-a-kind hotels, offers relief to anyone overwhelmed by our busy and crowded world.

A unique collection of more than 60 vegetarian, vegan, and vegan-friendly hotels and bed & breakfasts from all over the world, made even more enticing by delicious recipes.

Even with the loveliest hotel room and a beckoning pool, the perfect vacation can be spoiled when the restaurant forces you to make a meal out of side dishes. For vegetarians and vegans, a hotel vacation suiting their culinary lifestyle can still be quite a challenge. But there are outstanding alternatives out there, you just have to find them! In 2011, travel writers Karen Klein, Thomas Klein, and Peter Haunert established VeggieHotels®, the world’s first network of entirely vegetarian and vegan hotels and inns, which now includes far more than 500 establishments around the globe. They added VeganWelcome® in 2015 as a hand-picked selection of particularly vegan-friendly hotels.

In addition to purely vegetarian-vegan hotels, more establishments are offering guests outstanding vegan cuisine alongside more conventional dishes, so the founders of VeggieHotels® responded to this trend in 2015 by expanding their selection of vegan-friendly accommodations with another new website called, VeganWelcome®. They shine a spotlight on wonderful places run with great love and enthusiasm that are paving the way for a kind of tourism based on ethical principles and sustainability. And their success shows just how right they were: today, more than 300 hotels and inns in over 60 countries are VeggieHotels® and VeganWelcome® members. Guests at these establishments can savor new and creative vegetarian and vegan cuisine that will satisfy even the most jaded palate. This volume introduces the best hotels from the VeggieHotels® and VeganWelcome® websites with gorgeous photos and detailed information on each property’s special features — from cooking classes to yoga retreats. From vegan surfing camps to luxury hotels, from exclusive Ayurvedic retreats to simple mountain chalets, and from Tuscan country estates to holistic wellness resorts on Bali, the hotels presented in the book are dream destinations for fans of plant-based sustenance — and a whole lot more. They are also highly recommended for anyone interested in a healthy diet and lifestyle as well as sustainable travel. Top chefs reveal their secret recipes as well, so your culinary getaway can continue long after you’ve returned home.

Every hotel presented in this book is unique, with a history entirely its own and often built on an intensely personal dream. In every establishment, guests come to enjoy new, creative, vegetarian, and vegan cuisines that will satisfy even the most selective gourmets.
