'Rocky Mountain Home : Spirited Western Hideaways'
Editorial Reviews Midwest Book Review Rocky Mountain Home displays the distinctly American character of log cabins, alpine retreats, and other Western getaways that originated in pioneer days, and are still being built today. The romantic appeal of the log cabin, as a symbol of the Old West, is still strong today, and Rocky Mountain Home takes the reader on a journey of discovery of these cozy mountain retreats. Rocky Mountain Home presents the aesthetics of professional architects, builders and decorators whose modern efforts are in keeping with the pioneer traditions, designing homes in accordance with the natural environment. The inside and outside of the buildings reflect native materials as well as handmade textures. In all of the projects presented, there is a celebration of fine Rocky Mountain craftsmanship. Rocky Mountain Home is an asset to any architectural studies reading list and a wonderful "armchair" browsing. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
