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. Review: very beautiful book - This book highlights very impressive (and high budget) residential architecture. Each project is listed by its owner and location, and well, they are all beautiful and designed with very specific requirements in mind. For an architect, I think this would be a useful book to have. For me, I just like to get ideas and one day hope to design my own home that my husband and I can build ourselves (as much as possible). While the homes highlighted in this book are way out of my budget limits, they are beautiful and offer interesting ideas and ways to dream. Review: Good coffee table book if you like modern home design - Good book of different homes - modern and blending in with nature. Great to look at when you're just relaxing in the afternoon. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #937,468 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #751 in Residential Architecture #1,186 in Home Design & Construction (Books) #1,322 in Interior Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 155 Reviews | ## Images ![Retreat: The Modern House in Nature - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1YxcWP6RjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very beautiful book *by V***S on January 29, 2016* This book highlights very impressive (and high budget) residential architecture.

Great to look at when you're just relaxing in the afternoon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice phots and appreciation of what calmness comes from being in nature. *by 6***M on January 2, 2021* I was drawn to this title as I love both architecture and nature. One gets the feeling of the solitude and calmness living in a retreat type setting can bring. I was amazed at the place all over the world that are shown, and many in the US, which show houses set in natural settings, and seem to bring a message of relaxation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Retreat: The Modern House in Nature - Escapology: Modern Cabins, Cottages and Retreats - 150 Best New Cottage and Cabin Ideas --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/21574900-retreat-the-modern-house-in-nature](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/21574900-retreat-the-modern-house-in-nature) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
