Description
Mountain House Studies in Elevated Design by Nina Freudenberger is a photographic study of twenty houses and mountain landscapes from around the world. Spanning continents and climates, these homes challenge traditional notions of what a mountain house might be. From artist retreats in Morocco's High Atlas to modernist masterworks in Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro, the book presents a diverse range of dwellings set amidst some of the world's most dramatic landscapes. Over 200 images showcase brutalist lodges, clapboard cottages, and minimalist prisms, each one expressing the radical ingenuity and stunning creativity that mountains have inspired. These houses are not just rustic retreats or log cabins, but rather works of architecture that reflect the unique relationship between humans and their mountain environments.
