Review ------ "This gorgeous new title explores how this particular type of building presents architects and their clients with the rtunity to be creative in a way that designing a typical home simply cannot allow. The result is a beautiful, romantic book with stunning photography and bright contemporary illustrations..." "Cabins is full of stunning photography and informative text that makes it ideal for tossing on your coffee table. Also included are illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi that help you delve deeper into the design behind both rustic cabins and more contemporary ones. Pick it up, get inspired, and prepare to want your own." "There's something about the fusion of vernacular simplicity, elegant detailing and stunning sites that makes this the perfect armchair excursion into the woods." "...Offering inspiration and a hefty dose of envy for all fans of stylish design and the great outdoors, this is definitely a book to get lost in." "...clearly a book with attitude...61 diverse projects, beautifully portrayed by a playful mix of stunning photographs and illustrations. The illustrations play a dominant part in the reading experience both helping to portray the cabins primary elements but also to fuel the romance and fantasy of living in the woods unencumbered by reality. For an architect, this book must be a compelling source of inspiration...Cabin Fever was never so good." "...The book's graphics make is a good choice for any designer; its innovations, for any armchair architect."
