CABINS: ESCAPE TO NATURE (IMAGES PUBLISHING)

Most of us are tempted by the idea of a cabin in the woods, on the shore, in the mountains - anywhere you can find nature right outside the door. Here are 35 cabins, cottages, shelters, shacks, studios, lodges and retreats which make the dream a reality with inventive modern design and innovative use of technology. Richly photographed, these off-grid getaways demonstrate the full range of low-impact living from rustic basics to luxurious comfort and will inspire armchair architects and sanctuary seekers alike.
